If You're Wanting to Buy a Car
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming 1930s musical number penned by Will Hyde and brought to life by Stafford Coombe, the Works Manager in this photograph. The image finds Coombe in fine form as he sits behind the wheel of a stylish Vauxhall Scoota car, a popular toy and model of transport during the 1930s. The era of the 1930s, also known as the thirties or the 30s, was a time of innovation and excitement in the automobile industry. The Vauxhall Scoota, with its sleek design and modern features, represented the epitome of progress and mobility during this period. In the photograph, Coombe, dressed in a smart suit and hat, exudes a sense of confidence and joy as he takes the wheel. His expression suggests that he is about to embark on a thrilling adventure, inviting us to join him on this musical journey. The lyrics of "If You're Wanting to Buy a Car" echo the sentiment, as they celebrate the freedom and excitement that comes with owning a car. The photograph, taken in 1935, is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when cars were still considered a luxury and the simple act of driving was a source of delight and wonder. The image, with its warm tones and nostalgic charm, invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the evolution of transportation and music over the decades. Overall, this photograph is a delightful reminder of the power of music and the enduring appeal of the automobile. It transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the joy and excitement of a simpler era, as we listen to the melodic strains of "If You're Wanting to Buy a Car" and watch the Works Manager, Stafford Coombe, take the wheel of his Vauxhall Scoota car.
