REAR ENDS
-  Always an Interesting Study  -


Finding decent photos of the rear end of veteran cars is a frustrating business.  The front end was dripping with brass or nickel and a forward-looking image is far more impressive in a catalogue or family album.  But the restorer has to get all of it right and so a picture of the rear of a car is GOLD!  It reveals the springing arrangement, style of fuel tank (sometimes), hood fittings and lots of other details that are usually hidden.

Most of the cars on this page were photographed in recent times but the occasional pearl from the veteran era will turn up.  The collection will grow with time and I'll try to keep them in chronological order so that the evolution of our cars can be seen from behind!

Please be aware that each photo is presented without any suggestion that what you see is "100% correct" for the vehicle in question.
