Vintage shots from days gone by!

Is that a small tattoo on her chin?

Here in NZ some of the Maori (the 'natives') have traditional chin tattoos (and on other parts of their face at times ) called a 'moko'.

It died out a fair bit after the white-man arrived but in the last 20-30 years there has been quite a revival.

Ben Harper and W.S. Allen Run Coast to Coast, on Coast Tires




We have a very detailed post full of photos and a very interesting story on how Ben Harper built this 1913 Hudson on the the third floor of a U.S. Navy warehouse in San Francisco. To get the car up to the third floor of the building, he tied a rope to the front axle of the car and used the mechanism of the freight elevator to pull the car up the three flights and back down again after completion.

He and his brother in law W. S. Allen then went coast to coast with it twice and stopped with the car at Hudson headquarters in Detroit on the return trip (shown above) with the car which then had had with a mileage of 264,000 miles.

We have a very interesting post filled with photos and information about the trip, the Hudson and Coast Tires up on The Old Motor that you will find very interesting.

 

These cars are awfully clean,for snow country.
