A Motor Car of 1908 [or 1906.] A feature of yesterday's Victor Procession in Christchurch was a 1908 two-cylinder International Motor car which traversed the streets of Christchurch under its own power. This old-fashioned, solid tyred car is the property of its first owner, Mr. W. Cook, Lyndhurst, Mid-Canterbury, who brought it 54 miles to Christchurch so that it could participate in yesterday's celebrations. Mr. Cook was one of the pioneer drivers of motor-cars in Canterbury, and the old International is the second car he has owned and driven."](http://images.wisconsinhistory.org/700003051129/0305013746-l.jpg "International Motor Car at Procession for Peace Celebration, Christchurch, NZ")
