Time for another installment from the incredible collection of historical New Zealand photos by Allan Porter. This time we're doing something a little different. Rather than the drag racing events of previous installments, this time we're covering Hot Rod shows. To be more specific, these are hot rod shows from 1968 - 1974, and include Autorama, Bay Rodders, Wellington Hot Rod Show, Hamilton Hot Rod Show, and Harbour City Hot Rod Show, plus various random photos of which I'm unsure.

These pics capture some of the legendary New Zealand built hot rods of the era, and a nice mix of New Zealand made hot rod speed equipment, at a time when there was such an industry due to strict import laws.

I'll group the photos based on date and event. Feel free to jump in and ID cars and people as you see fit.
