Thanks for looking, Pat & Jack.
The roof rack was used to convey all sorts of oversize items & the box
could take a lot of luggage & even half a cricket team. The sun visor
woudn't help economy at speed but was never a problem because the old
man seldom went over 45mph. It took us three days to drive from
Salisbury to Durban for holidays by the sea. I learnt to drive in that
beast!
I wonder if the Coupe Imp wasn't a local variant because I couldn't find
any pics on overseas websites but found a few of preserved ones locally?
A sort of fore-runner of a double cab Bakkie.

I'm on the right, 12 years old.
The Chev was finally pensioned off in 1959 with about 200 000m on the clock. It
was replaced by a 1953 Chev Sedan.
