George Cole Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Not far from the starting line for this year's Great Race, the New England CCCA Region is hosting a tour and show on Cape Cod. Unfortunately, the show day is Saturday...same day as the Great Race start. We saw several of the Great Race cars on trailers as we came from Florida. Nice tour day for the 26 Full Classics yesterday in and around Cape Cod and Plymouth, MA. Rainy last night, this morning, and forecast for all day. Rain probably not good for the Great Racers. Pictures of our event below and more to follow in the next several days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Thanks for the pics George. Looks like its going to be a fun weekend. Your car looks great amongst the large American iron. Not sure about the Orange Packard, I really like the looks of the brownish looking Packard with the worn finish. There was a guy in my town when I was a kid that was a Packard collector. He had a roadster that looked just like the yellow and green one you show (I dont think the one you pictured is a Packard though). Drive Safe!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I agree, thank you so much for the photos and hope all of you have a splendid tour. So nice to know the cars are being driven and on the road, not just in static display. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Cole Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 The yellow & green is a 1932 LaSalle. Owners live in Key Largo, FL, but summer in ME. Rain let up this a.m., but more coming. Supposed to be nice for tomorrow. The brown Packard is unrestored original. A few minor hiccups, but cars otherwise running extremely well...including mine. The black 1940 Caddy with yellow stripe was driven over 250 miles to get here from Goshen, NY. It's mostly original showing 36k on the odometer. I was following the 1925 Caddy back to the hotel yesterday. It was comfortably running between 50-55. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Cole Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Yes, in some pictures my Jag has a hood ornament and in some it does not. When I leave it unattended in a parking lot, I replace the hood ornament with a flat radiator cap. In this instance, I forgot to reinstall it before hitting the road. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Cole Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 No one passed anyone. We stopped and I got blocked in so restarted in a slightly different order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I dont have to worry about hood ornaments but was talking to a guy at a show awhile back. He said that he had his stolen off the car while at a show in past, never leaves the car alone with it in place now. I cant imagine someone having the nerve to steal a cap off of a car at a show, but then again I dont have that mindset. Sounds like you are being smart about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Interesting to see that your Jaguar is wearing a New Zealand registration plate. Small world coincidence - in the 1980s I owned a 1976 Chevrolet Chevette that had been privately imported to NZ and first registered on 28 July 1978 - its plate was IY6313, so I guess about then is when your car was reregistered after restoration? Your Jaguar's plate is no longer on carjam so must have been exported before 1996 when the system was computerised. The Chevette is still out there somewhere as it has not been deregistered, although I think its ownership and history since I sold it is 1991 is murky to say the least - Report - IY6313 - 1976 CHEVROLET CHEVETTE in Blue | CARJAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It changed hands twice after that, before being purchased by someone in Chicago and imported to the U.S., in 1985. That owner died several years ago and his brother sold the car to Beverly Hills Car Club. I purchased it from them in January. I'm working with someone in NZ right now who's trying to find out more of the car's NZ history, but so far he's not having much luck. And yes, I've been driving around here with NZ plates. I fouind the ideal spot to mount the Florida license plate...under the passenger front seat. So far the constables have left me alone.

I posted a couple of your pics on a local facebook page a short time ago. Enquiries are ongoing from there. 2 pm Sunday here at the moment. Hope someone will see it this evening and get back to me. Which engine does your car have? If you did not already know Newman Brothers was a very well-known pioneering transport company. First with horse-drawn coaches, then service cars (mostly modified Cadillacs) and then buses - Newman Brothers (theprow.org.nz) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Cole Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) 3 1/2 Litre. Yes, I checked out Newman Brothers, but didn't find any reference to them owning/driving Jaguars. CCCA member Michael Taylor (from your neck of the woods,) has been helping me research it and spreading info about it around.

TAKerry Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Again, odd man out but I love that yellow and green Duesenburg! I noticed the plates on the car but did not know they were NZ. Wondered how your state was with yom plates. I know some allow a different state as long as it is registered. Thought it was odd that its a whole different country! I dont want to put bad luck on either of us but I have been running yom plates on my car for 7 years now and have never been questioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 On June 11th we attended a car show at the Heritage Museum and Gardens and you couldn't ask for a nicer venue. Woodie Station Wagon's were the featured vehicle's and the Yankee Chapter of the National Woodie Club was well represented. I for one would like to see a Woodie section every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOM plates ate legal in FL, but they have to be FL YOM plates. NZ plates with no year marking is a double negative whammy. Several cars at yesterday's show had their plates zip tied to their bumpers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
