Sheer amount of Aussie built cars on the roads those days  -- enough to make you cry.

 

Thanks for the share

I reckon it's earlier than 75'. The taxis are older.

We're talking 1975, it wasn't the throwaway generation, people fixed their cars.

In New York they kept their 50's yellow taxis for decades and the black cabs in London are older. lol.

 

You may have a point though, I didn't notice any LH Toranas lol but the clothing looks like 70's and there's some HQ cabs.

Yeah, I noticed 50 on the highway so it had to be prior to metrication.

 

It's a compilation of videos some look older than others so I'm guessing the newest of them would be 1975, if that.
