2006 Vero Vintage Car Rally, Pt. IV

Part IV of this brings it to an end, this final day involved the majority of the cars being parked in some sports grounds for the public to oggle at.  It was a good day, sadly I didn’t have the time to take photos of everything that was there but I did take as many as I could in the time I had.  I think there’s a pretty decent selection to have a squiz at.  One of my favourite, if not my favourite of the whole she-bang, I didn’t stumble upon until the show/display and that was this car…

1935 Auburn Speedster

The information on carjam.co.nz would indicate that this is in fact a Custom-built, so it’s either a replica or there was some strange dealings done in getting it onto the road.  Whatever the case, be it replica or not, it’s an amazing machine.  What’s not to like?  It’s a truly amazing machine, the whole sculpted body is just craftsmanship perfected, I’d own one in a heartbeat if I could, here’s some more shots and some of what else was on display including the link to the flickr Gallery with 95 images…

Detail shots, love those pipes, the bonnet vents, just everything really!

Speaking of vents...

and the dash, all class.

and the finely sculpted ass

Now moving on to something slightly different.  We got caught in classic traffic on the way to the display, it resulted in scenes such as this…

Looking at a Studebaker from a Datsun

I don’t know about how you would feel, but I for one was not complaining at all!  Check out what else we saw at some of the motels along the way…

1949 Humber Pullman Ambulance

and from the back

That rear end shot reminded me of the Minor owning tortron from oldschool.co.nz, if you’re not sure why, read the fine print below the CAUTION writing

OK, so, if I carry on like this I’m going to end up killing some peoples bandwidth, so here’s a final choice selection of cars that make me smile and that I was most glad to photograph…

1961 Auto Union DKW

1959 Chevrolet Impala Sports Coupe

1964 Renault Caravelle

1970 Fiat 850

1960 Borgward Isabella

1936 International CI

1959 Singer Gazelle Estate

OK!  Now that’s me dusted for the moment, you can check them all out yourself in higher resolution, here;

Enjoy!  I know I enjoyed seeing them all in person, hopefully I’ve taken enough photographs of the right cars that you can all enjoy the variety almost as much as I did.
