Wedding cars & hired limousines

I haven't been able to confirm/deny Willys for the pink one.

Edited to take in the prompt response: certainly Chevrolet (the parallelogram on the ellipse). I found one by googling, then went back to the original and played with the contrast, and can now read CHEVROLET clearly. I don't know if there was a matched pair. I didn't find Chevrolet when googling on Wedding Car Melbourne 1929 this morning, but it brought up lots of interest at which to spend time browsing.

The bride was coming from a location with very steep hills, the vintage cars couldn't succeed on the climb, detoured, then got lost. At the church, the organist played through the voluntary a second time; the guests were nervous and the groom was turning green. Then all was well, and 24 years on, still happily married.

Think the pink one is a 1941 Pontiac

The first picture, the Chevrolet, is definitely a 1929 model. The front brakes and the 20 inch wheels give it away. The 1928 had the same braking system but was the last of the four cylinder models and had 21 inch wheels. The 1930 model had cable-operated brakes and 19 inch wheels.

Another clue might be the numberplate, AC 1929, as the 1929 was the model "AC International," after the i928 "AB National."

Yes, I have a Chevrolet 1929 "AC International " but sorry to disappoint you, I did not buy it when it was new. I bought it when it was 31 years old. and I was 27.
