caption_attribution_description: English: 1935 Hudson Special. The car was built in 1935 for W.A. "Gus" McIntyre of Sydney to compete in a proposed 1936 trans-African race which was never held. McIntyre entered the car in the 1936 South Australian Centenary Grand Prix where it was driven by Frank Kleinig, retiring on lap 5 of the 32 lap race.
context_page_description: The 1937 Australian Grand Prix is a name which has been applied retrospectively to the 1936 South Australian Centenary Grand Prix, a motor race held on the Port Elliot-Victor Harbor road circuit in South Australia on Boxing Day, 26 December 1936.
  The 1935 Australian Grand Prix had been held at Phillip Island in April and no succeeding event had been planned. Eventually the Australian Grand Prix would be revived in April 1938 at Bathurst. The stature of 1936 South Australian Centenary Grand Prix, the largest such race held in the three-year gap, saw it later renamed and redated to become the 1937 Australian Grand Prix.
  The race was the first road race for cars to be held in South Australia, with special amendments to the Road Traffic Act required to allow the roads to be closed for that purpose. A 7.8-mile course was laid out specifically for the race on sealed public roads between the seaside towns of Port Elliot and Victor Harbor. It was only used for racing on this one occasion. The race, which had 27 starters, was held over 32 laps for a total distance of approximately 250 miles.

  The entries of McDonald, Anderson and Abbott were "flagged off", having exceeded the time limit rule.
