This is a heart-warming collection of memories and snapshots of ordinary New Zealanders and their cars from the 1950s through to the 1980s, forming a kind of national family photo album with its focus on the four-wheeled members. Here we are on camping trips with tents piled on roof racks; at family picnics; fixing flat tyres and bent over reluctant engines; and, time after time, pictured proudly alongside our motors. With captions that relay first-hand experiences, and an appendix giving the facts and history of the cars.
