A VERY VINTAGE DAY OUT

16/4/2021

1 Comment

 
This event at the Kumeu Showgrounds on the 10th of April, was unfortunately not pushed very hard and many people I have spoken to were not aware that it was taking place. Even people living in Kumeu and surrounding districts were in the dark. My elder daughter, who was aware, suggested Pat and I give our 1929 Deluxe D.A. Dodge a birthday and enter it in the Vintage section, so with help from Fiona and her family, we extricated the 92 year old vehicle from my garage and registered for the event.
W e have often dressed in period clothing for Vintage Car Club events and did so this time just for the hell of it, not for a moment looking to enter any competitions other than with the car. However, we were outnumbered by the family and entered the “Best dressed couples” category and to our astonishment won hands down. My wife Patricia has worked in the rag trade all her life and made most of our clothing, while our daughter Fiona, who was taught much of what she knows by Pat, entered in the “Western Clothing” section and she won that class by a country mile.
T he judging for the vehicles was by popular vote and we were beaten here by a very nice looking 1930 Model A Ford Roadster. Although she had a fantastic two pack paint job and had chrome work for Africa, the chrome plated items and the after-market overhead valve head and twin carburetors were not period correct.
