Default Christmas parades in N.Z.

This photo is of our Grand children in the Rumble seat of our 32 which we attended too, at a Local Hawera Christmas Parade which was watched by several thousand spectators.

That item on the road was not from our 32.
Trevo, nice hearng from you, I will not be attending the Art Deco and I will not be attending the Art Deco, and all the best to you for Xmas & New Year too.
The 32 was only parked on the right hand side of the road David, at that time.
The 32 will remain in the family when I am gone as they are all very interested in Ford cars.

Love your 32 Ford Deluxe Three Window Coupe. I notice that it has been converted to Right Hand Drive. You Kiwis travel in Style.

I have built our 1932 -3/W out of mainly N.Z. original mechanical and other components.
The bumpers and the spare wheel cover I made out of Stainless Steel, as well as a lot of other parts, and what parts I could not obtain I made.
The 32 is actually registered as a new original N.Z. car.

Beautiful car. Can't beat the color combo. Been thinking about doing my 36 Tudor that way. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Pat

Beautiful car Ian. I bet the kids had a ball. How long did it take you to make the stainless steel bumpers? You are a very crafty guy. Take care and Merry Christmas to you, Jeanette and all of your family and friends. Jim

Beautiful car.

I had my 1913 Model T in the Feilding Christmas parade last Sunday. Despite the fact that I had fitted a water pump it still got pretty hot . The trouble is when that happens and you're in a parade there is no where to go. Luckily for me it was a breezey day and we turned a corner straight into a reasonable wind and the temperature dropped just before we boiled . Karl
