Southward Auto Museum - Paraparaumu - 21 January 2012

This was really a fun outing.  Many of the senior couples on the North Island met at the Southward Auto Museum and toured for about 2 hours prior to going out to dinner.  I don't think that you can't place a value on this collection!  Some of the descriptions included the most recent sale prices and they were at times into the millions and that was 20 years ago!  It's amazing!




Left to right...Pres. & Sister Kezerian, McVey's, Patchett's, Brazzeal's, Shepherd's, Chesley's and Overton's

 


Here's a panorama of just a protion of the main floor.  There's a mezzanine and basement loaded with vehicles.



From this point until the end, I'll just picture the various autos with no remarks....enjoy!
