Recently
we were contacted through the SNOMS web pages by Gary Harbottle an Australian
car fan who was desperate to know when his ’57 Chevy would be arriving in
Melbourne. The pictures above and below show his Chevy waiting to go on board the Celebes
when she was in LA.
Gary’s
car was following on from other interesting cargo she has carried during a
career that has included steam railway engines and luxury yachts. This brings
to mind the Celebes own engine, a wonderful four cylinder that has throbbed at
a pace to make any Harley Davison enthusiast envious, turning her screw at 72
rpm. The picture below shows work being done on the cylinder heads.
