Carrying the flag by maggiemae

Carrying the flag

Down at the historic precinct in Oamaru, NZ this old Buick drew many admiring glances. I had to wait for various people who were taking photos right in front of me to move. Eventually got one without a person! It seems to have a Canadian flag tucked in at the back!
Wow! that is a beautiful capture, neat shot Maggiemae!

With it's own toolbox even! Something that was quite necessary back then I understand! I was telling my students the other day that one reason they thought women would never be able to drive was because of all the break downs, flat tires, and hikes to a creek for radiator water....I wonder what year this car is?

@espyetta About 1931, i think from research! We did all that stuff as children in a 1937 chev!

@maggiemae Oh wow! Amazing how far cars have come. Now they are testing driverless cars ...and my new car is like a computer....

@judithdeacon The background suits these older vehicles and yes, that is a Penny Farthing in the background!
