It's a good thing we can't look into the future as cute family snapshots like this one can take on a whole new meaning. It was sent to us by John Munro who tells us that the picture comes from an old family album and was probably taken early in the 1920s in or near Auckland, New Zealand. John also tells us that the little boy standing pround on the running board became a fighter pilot and was killed in the war. Of course the car is long gone and engine and chassis numbers are unknown. The only thing that remains is the registration number A-8558. John is very keen to find out the date of the picture; what make the car is, and anything else we can come up with. PS We don't quite knowwhat to make of the radiator cap. At first glance it could be some strange looking ornament, but on the other hand it could also be some kind of a pole in the field behind the car.
