Southland treasure trove of vintage cars attracts

From Checkpoint, 4:23 pm on 20 September 2024

The prized collection including Model T Fords, Cadillacs, and Buicks was owned by a late wood buyer and gore resident Robin Dickson and is being sold on behalf of his widow. Some of the cars date back to the 1910's and were collected over a life time and tucked away in the shed, where Robin tinkered away on them. Dickson family friend, Paul Herron has been helping organise the auction at Waimumu and spoke to Lisa Owen.
