      Photo of my Dad in around 1955/56 in front of his Cabinetry Works in Bethlehem, orange Free State RSA – 2 years before I was born…He was an Italian POW in Zonderwater near Pretoria, and at the end of the war decided to stay on in RSA and started a Cabinetry business in Bethlehem.

      I found this photo lost in a box off old photo's – Any ideas on what make the vehicle is? I know he had a Morris Oxford, and another Morris 1000 Traveller – He told me how he had replaced all the woodwork which had developed 'woodworm' in Bethlehem…Later in life, I had a Morris Minor 1000, 2 door,  My Mom, had a 4 door, and we had another Morris Minor, the 850 side valve…

      Morris seemed to be in the Families Blood, but the Bethlehem car eludes me…

                Beautiful late 30s car, and look at that beautiful Art Deco building behind it, that curved Deco window frame design and the Deco signwriting above it. Dad brought his Italian flair for style with him, that's for sure.

                  Thank You for those words Hopper. Wish dad was still around to talk about all that I should have when he was about…To busy being young, distracted an lacking the wisdom of age! – Lost out too much on my Dad's riches…

                  Thanks Jon and Hopper.
