the oldbike site copied much from the Australian site (there are some details which are inconsistent with my investigations)
This was the first version, the New Look. It was then marketed as the Streamlyne, then in 1953 as the Coronation, then in 1954 as the Elizabethan (painted red, white and blue), for Queen Elizabeth's visit to Australia.
the ladies bike was marketed from 1948 as 'streamlined, glamorous and exciting'

My 1948 Spearman has similar box-lining and feathers.
