In the post-war years in Australia there were a number of cars that seemed to be good but for a variety of reasons they did not sell in the numbers expected of them. I have gathered 50 of these cars and described them in brief detail and tried to explain why they did not sell or were unsuccessful in our market. I am not deriding them as others have done. Models included are Chrysler Royal, Alfasud, Morris 1500, Lightburn Zeta, Simca Vedette, Triumph Herald, Volvo 360 and many more. Accompanying each are some excellent photographs, brief specifications, some performance indicators, numbers built (where known) and prices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs13DCAC4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eDead Ends and Duffers will only be available in soft cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs13DCAC4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs75B323B\"\u003eSynopsis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs13DCAC4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eis a light-hearted look at 50 cars sold in Australia in the post-war years.
