Guest stephen48 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Here is a photo of a Detroiter, Chevrolet and King outside Dominion Motors dealership in Wellington NZ.They sold these for a few years but I have not seen a King survivor in NZ.Dominion Motors eventually became a Morris dealer for several decades.I am not sure what year this photo was taken but would estimate around 1913 from the appearance of the cars.Perhaps someone will know exactly what year they are.

Guest Al Brass Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 My brother-in-law restored a ('13?) Detroiter here in Christchurch in the 70's. I am not sure where it is now.RegardsAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stephen48 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi Al. There was a blue 1913 Detroiter in Auckland until a few years ago but it has disappeared.Maybe it was the same car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al Brass Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi Stephen,The car he built was a royal blue with black fenders so you are probably onto it. I recall it went north when he sold it.Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stephen48 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Is this it? (Taken in1980 on half frame slide so quality not up to todays digital photos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al Brass Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yes, it almost certyainly looks like it. The time frame works too, he would have sold it by 1980.RegardsAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
