cars outside the former Blenheim Post Office, 1940s


Including a Vauxhall or two.  The pic shows the Cleghorn Memorial Rotunda in the Market Place on the left which is still there.  As a bit of trivia, the Blenheim Post Office experienced a heist of $51,000 in 1968, the present day equivalent of $867,000 and the biggest such robbery in NZ history.

No Vauxhalls here that I can see. The car at the back is a Hudson or Terraplane, in front of it a 1938 Chevrolet and I am not sure of the big one in front but I think it is a Rootes product, maybe a Humber?
