cars in Upper Queen Street, Auckland, 1958

Also from the Slides Worth Seeing FB page is this view of Auckland before the skyscrapers with the tram tracks still in place, even though they had ended two years earlier. The MLC building in the distance is still there, but now dwarfed. A new Chevrolet Bel Air can be seen parked on the left. (Pic credited to JBL Tucker)

  1. "A new Chevrolet Bel Air can be seen parked on the left."

    And another facing the camera on the right hand side - there might even be a third just to the left of the cream car driving down the street.

  2. There are two other '58 Bel Airs in the photo as well.
