HISTORIC VEHICLES
Trucks, Cars and Motorbikes

Allan Whiting
Jim Gibson
Allan and Jim are a couple of octogenarian automotive industry – trucks, cars and motorcycles – journalists/photographers, who have a passion for old vehicles, having written many stories about these pioneering makes and models of automotive history over several decades.
So, having watched print magazines slowly disappear from newsagent’s shelves, Jim and Allan thought of another way to preserve our motoring past.
They researched heavily, rewrote older material and digitised old photographs. They also interviewed enthusiasts who were still actively involved in the hobby or business of breathing life back into old vehicles, with the Australian pre-30-year rolling historic plate rule being the criteria.
Jim and Allan trust that the Historic Vehicles website offers you, the reader, an in-depth look at not only the vehicles, but also the pioneers – Henry Ford, Walter P Chrysler, the Graham Brothers, the Riley Brothers, W O Bentley, William Lyons, August Fruehauf, C A Tilt, Thomas White and one that you possibly won’t know of, Frank Smith – whose vehicles progressively came Down Under during the last 100 years or so.
There is a plethora of informative reading, accompanied by quality photography for you to enjoy in the world of Historic Vehicles.
“Keeping Our Automotive History Alive,
Allan and Jim
