I was googling some old photos of mine from Tocumwal and found I had posted them in a closed thread here
And while scanning the posts I spotted a question I didnt see back then, but have the answer for.

In my other hobby, antique and vintage cars I read in a club publication about the possibility of a buried Stutz Bearcat automobile in Australia, the story being that it was owned by a gangster.
It it exists, it could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars (depending on year and of course, condition).What is it with the Aussies burying stuff?

This ones not only probable and possible, its a reality, and its not, nor has ever been buried, but bears little resemblance to a Bearcat these days, and yes it was owned by Squizzy Taylor a Gangster in Melbourne during the Depression.
His car is in a local aviation museum!, (it has a very unique aviation link) and I have seen it with my own eyes.
I will try to take a photo of it over the next few weeks and post it here
