Default All Ford Day Westport New Zealand
Last weekend was a holiday weekend in New Zealand. Queens Birthday Weekend. It was also the 25th year for Buller District All Ford Day held in Westport. Enclosed a few pics of interest. The truck engine is a runner.
The coupes are outside the Cosmopolitian Hotel Westport. Joe Gillman, grey 36 coupe,Stillwater, Graeme Anderson maroon 36 coupe, HariHari,
blue 39 coupe myself West Eyreton just out of Rangiora.
Not a large show but a record number of cars 134 in total with a good weekend. Rain free for the West West Coast which is an added bonus.

My old 39 standard coupe.
Doug Tutill had owned it for over 30 years.
Ran OK too.

The 49 Lincoln scored a prize for best Unfinished. The owner of this car also owns the truck and sedan 46? as in pic. A really good laid back friendly atmosphere.

All older Fords but the Ford in foreground how can it compete with those classics in the background.
See the assembled "Young Owners" of same cars.

XA/XB Falcon coupe - copied from the 71 Mach 1 Mustang.
It looks pretty good though.

Great pictures. The first two look like old color photos that could have been taken in the 40's, especially the second one. It looks like a original aged picture. Thanks for sharing. Bill
