KIWI
VINTAGE CAR COLLECTIONS
Steve Reid
A stunning
collection of New Zealand-owned vintage cars,
each lovingly
restored and with its own story to tell
The vintage era - 1919
to 1931 - was a brief period of time in our motoring history when only the
strong would survive. The First World War was over and many new makes and
models were being released but, all too soon, the Wall Street crash lead to a
turbulent time for the motor industry and many did not last the distance.
Some
of the names in this book are still known to us today, such as Ford and Dodge
who proved that they had what it took to stay at the top of their game. Others,
though, such as Oakland, Erskine and Jewett, were in production for only a
short period of time and have been long forgotten by most.
Meet
the Kiwis who have taken the time to lovingly restore these vintage beauties
and, in doing so, know the real joy it is to own some of the great names from
our motoring past.
