The following are photos I have snapped of interesting vehicles parked at the roadside.

1938 Chev Coupe in Woodville. Appeared to be in un-restored, but very good condition. |

I have always liked Mercedes-Benzs of this era. I used to see this 420SE regularly in Petone about ten years ago. |

A Daimler van den plas limousine was parked near a hotel in Napier. Napier is a busy sea port on the East coast of NZ's North Island. |

Feilding was the town where this 1965 Ford Mustang, complete with personalised rego plate, was spotted. |

I am not a big American car fan, but do have to admit they made some fine looking two door hardtops. A 1964 Ford Galaxie in Palmerston North. Palmerston North is a central North Island city noted for it's large university, and therefore large student population, amongst other things. |

I had to look close at this taxi, in Wellington, to see that it is a 2000 Ssangyong Chairman. |

In Alicetown, Lower Hutt, is a motor garage that specialises in classic cars. This 1935 Ford sedan was parked nearby. |

When I was at high school, the father of one of my class-mates had a 1965 Ford Fairlane. It had been fitted with twin exhaust pipes and had a lovely V8 burble. This is one of the same model in the carpark of Southward's Motor Museum. |

In 1971 I was an apprentice mechanic at a Toyota dealership when the first new model Toyota Crown arrived. It was a coupe version. I was delighted when my boss allowed me a drive of it. The above photo is a 1975 saloon of the same body style, parked outside The Warehouse in Petone in 2005. The Warehouse is an NZ iconic, inexpensive department store which sells almost everything. |

If I owned a 1956 buick Super, like this one, I wouldn't park it in a supermarket carpark. Maybe the panels are so heavy they don't dent. Photo is at Woolworths supermarket in Upper Hutt. |

This 1967 Reliant Scimitar Coupe, parked in the Mount Victoria area of Wellington, is very rare in NZ. The hatchback GTEs were more common, but still fairly rare. |
