you guys are right on. 
this man is my grandfather the photo was taken in the mid 20s. He would do weekly tours out of Victoria over a dangerous part of the #1 highway called the Malahat.

Thanks for posting that photo.  Its interesting to know that some of those Leylands of that era were actually sold in Canada new.  The late Ron Carey owned one, but it is a much later private import from the '90's or 2000's.

Here's an interesting perspective we don't give much thought.

This comic depicts what rail engineers thought of autos.

Is this one?

Thanks for sharing! It popped on my radar reading about the large early American makes. The riveting on the body panels and the sharp nose made it look aggressive. I like it!! I wonder if any still exist?

Auckland, New Zealand, circa 1929. Karangahape Rd, usually just known as K Rd, is one of the city's main thoroughfares and looks little different today.

 

That looks to be a Moon sedan in the middle of the photo. Not a common sight anywhere.

Nelson, New Zealand, 1932-33 by the registration plates. Cars waiting for passengers to disembark from the daily ferry from Wellington.

 

Most of the cars are readily identifiable but the big sedan with the three-bar bumper is still a mystery.

1927 REO Flying Cloud ? Perfect model name for the Native American market certainly!
