1660 - Wolseley 16/60 Automobile, Produced from 1958-1961
The Wolseley version was particularly easy to identify on the roads after dark thanks to the small illuminated badge on its grille, a feature shared with other Wolseleys of the period.

The first document relating to the wool-producing activities of the family of Barberis Canonico is the “quinternetto delle taglie” (community record of sizes) which reports the delivery of a “saia grisa”
(grey wool) to the Duke of Savoy by Ajmo Barbero. In addition, it speaks of the skill of dyeing, which in those days was not known to everybody and was jealously guarded and passed down from father to son.

And all the turmoil from Cromwell’s death and lack of a solid succession plan, little Dicky Cromwell, political treachery, the restoration of the king, all that crazy stuff going on then!
And in 1669, Queen Henrietta Maria died at 59 years. She was married to Charles I whom Cromwell executed. She is the namesake of the US state of Maryland.

Hudson’s Bay Company was incorporated by English royal charter in 1670 as The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson’s Bay and functioned as the de facto government in parts of North America before European states and later the United States laid claim to some of those territories. It was at one time the largest landowner in the world, with the area of the Hudson Bay watershed, known as Rupert’s Land, having 15% of North American acreage.
