Annie Swain The car is a 1931 Chevrolet. It is wearing a 1931-32 plate so is quite new there.

Geoffrey King yep the wheel hubs will confirm that it is a Chevrolet. Looks like their personal belongings in the back seat area. She looks like a nurse with that outfit and he is off to Bowls or maybe rugby. lol

Geoffrey Bell There is a good chance that the photo was taken in Cobden.Jock Allen

Lyn N Moe
Old Chev 31 I think.

Donald Levy
Lyn N Moe we had one the 1928-29 model Chev Wentworth , looks about the same . loved the wire spoke wheels on them . the horseless carriage

Donald Levy The Wentworth was a 'blinged up' model, with extra chrome etc, that GMNZ produced to help clear stocks of the 1929 cars before the new 1930 cars came on the market.

Carnerd Mark
Lyn N Moe It is 1930. The 1931 model had more bonnet louvres and did away with the towers under the head lamps.

Dianne Bell
Always called them auntie Vi and uncle Jack but auntie Vi was my grandfather George Schafers cousin. Gary Murdoch

Peter Fleming
Had a good fish pond in the middle of the front yard
