Default New Zealand Car Show (non Vette )

Hello everyone...Beautiful day here today in my local town. We have a 2 day car show where there was around 1400 cars in attendance. I wont bore you with too many picts but I thought I'd post a wee selection. Pretty hard with the crowds to get a decent photo so I just shot a few early in the day and a few at the end.

Lots of muscle cars and 50/60s classics as well as hot rods, bikes etc etc

The last photo is my car 30 minutes to end of show and quite a few cars had left. This kid was super happy to have a photo beside my car! I saw a car magazine photographer take photos as well.

My Airbrush Inc hood liner went down a treat!

Thanks for posting that.
Sure would like to have seen the rest of that white Imperial.
Those cars were what I grew up with.

Thanks....Way better selection than what I've snapped...I've been to a good few, so I tend to not take to many photos these days. I just wanted to give a wee cross reference. The mustang with the stack fuel injection has been widened 3". Most people’s first thought when you say you are going to widen a car (okay, maybe the second thought after ‘are you crazy’) is that you would cut the car down the middle and weld in a metal strip. It’s not that simple. They came up with the idea of slicing the sides off the car and adding 37.5mm each side.

See here for the story which is pretty cool. http://www.getfrank.co.nz/Entertainm...l-metal-jacket

The blue bus had 7 staggered race seats....I loved that bus!

Hi, I don't have further details sorry. It's a work in progress by a local restoration shop.Interior was still to be completed but what was done, was in the vein of the engine bay ..i.e very smooth, very hi tech in a minimal way. If I find out more I will let you know.
