Dad’s Singer 9 utility was the family car and a work utility. It was a car for all seasons, used for carting and carrying for the family dairy.
Singer 9’s were legendary cars when I was growing up. Dad had a great fondness for Singers and from an early age, my brother Donald had instilled that legend in my psyche.
They were reliable and economical, with power to burn.
The ute served Dad well carting hay for the cows. It would come from Islington, up Irish Harp Hill to home. And of course, it was used for milk deliveries and served as the family car.
I wonder where we all sat….
