Dad's brand new Simca. I'm the one on the right :cool:
Must have caught the French Car virus back then

Is the left hand wiper in the correct position?

And what happened to the car??

GUZ - late 1957?
Probably. My Dad bought a new Holden FC in 1958, not sure exactly when but its rego was GWP.
Incidently... that car was a POS from the word go. I remember dad tell me they considered a Simca but for some reason didn't buy one.

Left hand wiper - yes, that is correct position. Arondes had "1 up, 1 down" wipers. Actually a very efficient coverage of the screen, no need for different pivots/linkages for RHD / LHD. Only need to change park position in the wiper motor to change LHD to RHD. Clever. Just looks a bit odd with 1 wiper up, but it is on the passenger side so it is fine.
 
GUZ - late 1957?
Yes my father bought a new 1957 Chev in that year when coming to Geelong. The plate number was still available so I got it from Vic Roads and now it sits proudly on our 1956 Big 15 - - GTF-973
