Cadillac & Lee's Ford
As is always the case, Lee from oldschool.co.nz attends as many automotive events as humanly and sometimes superhumanly possible. He’s a dedicated man and I’m forever greatful for that and his willingness to share the photo documentation of his exploits. The most recent of which that he snapped a few happy’s at was as the title of the blog indicates, the recently held Napier Hot Rod Swap Meet, most swap meets nationally have gone from more than just a few stalls willing those hard to find and sometimes ridiculously rare trinkets and trim pieces to basically car shows with a place to buy bits. On one hand, that’s kinda cool, on another it’s a little sad. More cars on show generally means less room for those selling goods, which you would think was the principal point of a swap meet. Whether this is the case with the Napier one, I’m not sure. It certainly seemed to be at the Palmerston North one I attended last year. Enough of the jibber jabber however, onto what you’ve come to see, the vehicles!
Nice contrast in era's
...and again
Nicely done Pontiac wagon.
Probably my favourite, this slammed peppermint Thunderbird
The rest of the photos as well as these in a slightly higher resolution are available to view on the retro-classics flickr gallery, here;

If there’s any you’re keen on in a higher resolution again, just let me know and I’ll ask the wonderful Lee whether he’s happy to share.
