nzcarnerd Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The lower photo was noted as being from 1932 when I first saw it. The car is a 1929 Studebaker, either a Dictator or a Commander - they both used the same size tyres. The photo is good guide for the pinstriping. This version of the early photo shows the tyre size. My 1929 (actually built and shipped in 1928) Studebaker Director Six cabriolet was restored in the 1980s but the pinstriping was only done late last year. It is the only known surviving right-hand drive example. It is one of two imported to NZ and they may have been the only right-hand drive ones built. Photo taken in early June on an event that included a lot of gravel roads. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 If anyone is curious about the green sedan on the right it is a 1930 Humber Snipe, powered by the 3 1/2 litre inlet over exhaust six. It belongs to a neighbour. My other son and I took it on the same event seven years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the mess on the Humber, that is muddy water. Lots of wet gravel roads and the occasional river crossing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
