A great Kiwi greeting from Auckland Model A club members
We were treated to a very full day of sightseeing in their cars
A 1930 Tudor, '30 Roadster, '28 Woodie.
The Woodie was home built on a Tudor Chassis by the "vicar".
Did I mention there were more than cars?
We were treated to a stop at the Wintergarten, muffins on the hillside,trips thru quaint towns, and afternoon picnic at a home of one member overlooking the entire city of Auckland. Many thanks to all.
Begonias of many colors. Native to NZ.
Amazing tropical flowers, ferns and palms.
Jeannie can correct me if this isn't a begonia maybe it is a fushia?
How do you spell fushia?
This is a plant!! Some kind of water lily. The pads you see
are from one plant with its branches under the water.
Water Lily with Friend.
Yep! a real plant called Pitcher Plant.
Bet it wasn't your first thought.

A stop at a club member's garage.
'29 Model A Roadster
'14(ish) Model T
Okay I may have the dates wrong but its okay.
Really it is Ken.

Jeannie and Carol even had time for some shopping.
At the end of a long day, the Vicar's car had an "issue".
(His word not mine)
Quickly remedied by two chief mechanics.
Now on to other Ports!
We were greeted in Napier, our second Port stop, by more cars.
Not Model A Club this time.
At first glance out our ship's cabin window we thought this onewas an A.
Note the fella in Era attire.
Napier is known for its Art Deco Architecture which
occurred after their 1931 major earthquake that almost
leveled the city.
An A
Bird's eye view of the cars
Dixieland band and all the trimmings.
In Wellington we visited the Settlers Museum.
Who knew there would be more cars!!
For my brother-in-law Dan! Sorry I don't remember the description.
A very old fire wagon.
1903 Locomobile
Crazy Model A folks everywhere. THE VICAR!
The "vicar".
He isn't really a vicar and those aren't really his teeth.
He exemplifies the best of being in a Model A club.
Good humor, friendship, and phenomenal knowledge.
The grateful happy travellers. New Zealand was made fantastic
by the friendship of the Auckland Model A folks.
