Rattlesnake Point Milton Onatrio

[abarth69]

So back in 1956 they used to close down this road in Milton Onatrio and have some fun . Today the road is a paved with a bunch of million dollars houses on it.

My father filmed this back in June 2 1956



Enjoy

Cheers

Excellent! Thanks for sharing......It's great to see these old cars back in the day!

I think that first (red) car was a Siata. Third car was an A40.

Funny to see the old Studebaker.

The little formula car looks like one of the old 500cc cars that eventually became Formula 3.

Towards the end, was a white AC Ace roadster......worth a ton today!
