Australian SixThe Australian Six was an Australian automobile manufactured from 1919 to 1930. It was a grandiose attempt to compete against import cars from the United States, and was produced from a mixture of local and imported parts. Vehicles featured a conventional-chassis layout and a choice of five bodies, locally made. Most models were fitted with Rutenber six-cylinder engines and Grand Lees or Muncie gearboxes; some, however, had inported ohv Anstead engines instead. The company was forced to shut down prodction after 900 cars were built; this was due mainly to high local construction costs. Several Australian Sixes survive.
