Model T cars

On Wednesday 7th November about three dozen Model T Ford cars assembled at Motat after completing a journey from Wellington to Auckland.  The Model T was manufactured from September 1908 until October 1927.

The conditions for photography were not ideal, due to the cluttered backdrops, but a bit of "rescue" work at the computer helped sort that out.

This was part of the permanent display at Motat - a 1903 Model A Ford.
