It’s not over yet: The Motorhood brings you the Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Elegance standouts

9 February, 2015

To make sure you don’t feel like it’s completely all over for another entire year, we’ll be bringing you coverage of some of the standout vehicles from the 2015 Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Elegance and Classic Car Show, held on February 8, over the coming weeks. We’ve put together a teaser video showing you every car we’ll be delving deeper into, so check it out below and keep an eye out for the upcoming features over the next few weeks.  

One lady owner

Well, at first glimpse, as soon as the lady opened the garage doors, I knew I was going to buy it. Dark metallic blue with two-tone blue vinyl trim, with a cream American-style steering wheel — I just could not believe my eyes! The Falcon was in as new condition as you could expect from a 30-year-old car. The owner was Mrs Iama Dzenis, aged in her late 60s, at a guess. Mrs Dzenis had bought the car new in September of 1965 from the Ford agents of North Canterbury, Palmer and Doak. Their headquarters were in Rangiora, with branches in Kaiapoi and Amberley.
