Very pretty old cars.

Those are all seriously old. Does this club have a date cut off? - TF

I think the horseless carriage is my favorite one. (that would be the second picture)

I always appreciate those that take the time, energy, and money to keep history alive and these are fine examples.
Looks like L. Cocker & Sons has been running already.

Hi:

I love these, especially the delivery truck. Great colors, sharp crisp images.

hminx, great images!! I am a sucker for old cars and am always impressed by the patience that some people must have to restore and maintain them in vintage condition. Thanks for posting these.

One further question, given your home in New Zealand, are these cars all from what we Up North would call Down Under, or are there imports in the lot?

Cheers,

WesternGuy

Appreciate the comments writer & WG All cars in NZ are imported, although some used to be assembled here. Not sure as to the way that these came into the country as they are right hand drive, doubt when Henry built his factory, he would have a production line for the
Aussies, Poms, and Kiwis who drive on the left hand side of the road.

My uncle has been restoring horseless carriages for decades. I've taken rides in everything from a Stanley Steamer (which took 20 years to restore) to a Deusenberg (personal favorite) to a 1911 Maxwell. They're works of art and a gas to ride in.
