But thanks for mentioning my Russell site. If anyone has any Russell images or information out there I'd love to hear about it. Peter When I saw the zoom-in after, I then concluded it was not, but I chose not to delete it after seeing the one favorable response to the link.

nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I can add a few early photos from New Zealand that have been posted on various local facebook pages. Many have prompted much discussion. The first subject is the only Ford Model K to be imported to NZ. The first photo is apparently the only known shot of it when it first arrived in about 1906-07. It failed to sell I think and just what happened to it for about ten years is unknown. What is known is that it was converted into a raceabout - see photo. It was entered for one of the early beach racing events on Muriwai Beach, near Auckland, but broke down on the way there. The car was subsequently broken up and the engine was put on display at AutoParts in Auckland. Its subsequent fate is unknown. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 A photo taken in downtown Auckland new Zealand circa 1908-10. The facade of the hotel still exists although is now part of an office block. The cars are both from circa 1907; a large Daimler - several of these came to NZ - and an Enfield. Note the logo on the radiator of the Enfield - a field gun - denoting the company's main products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Here is another Daimler, this time a photo from February 1908. The then Prime Minister on a visit to the town of Waipu, north of Auckland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The town of Hastings in Hawke's Bay on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The area was hit very hard by an earthquake in February 1931. The plate on the touring car on the left tells us the photo was taken between 1 July 1930 and 30 June 1931. As earthquake occurred in February 1931 it narrows the date down quite a lot. In that era Buicks were about the biggest selling mid price car in NZ, although other makes were not far behind - Studebaker. Oldsmobile, Willys etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 A pair of Twin Six Packards, owned by Gibbs Motors of Nelson, photographed outside Downie's Hotel In Murchison in the South Island of New Zealand, probably in the early 1920s. The plates have the prefix WM for Waimea County which included the town of Nelson where these cars were based. Just how many Twin Sixes came to NZ in unknown - probably not very many - but it appears they were not available with right hand drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 From the newspaper ads I have seen the Packard importer was based in the small town of Gisborne. This photo was taken in the Gisborne area in 1922 - a Twin Six in the mud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 One Twin Six that arrived in NZ has survived. Apparently it suffered a carburettor fire when near new. It was converted into a race car and competed in races at Muriwai beach in 1922, as the Mountain Road Special - named for the address of the owner. The parts were retained by various owners and it was restored in the 1980s. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W_Higgins Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A 1908 Franklin Model H in front of the Old State House (then state capitol) in Little Rock with Acting Gov. X.O. Pindall as the front seat passenger. The Little Rock Auto Co. (the main target of my research) began advertising these Franklins in the summer of 1908. Almost 30 years later Gov. Pindall meets an unfortunate end just a few blocks from where this photo was taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
