What do you think is on the front of the carrier at 1:46.

Makers plate maybe? odd position if it is these would normally be on the right front guard for an LP2

I don't think so Dave.
Is it a piece of paper taped top and bottom?
Notifying a fault?, Lacking a part?, End of production for the day or week?
What ever it is, I think just a temporary thing.
I suspect anyone who knew, is past answering. Just my opinion.

Wasn't one carrier paid for by the towns folk of Pahiatua or some small town?

It could be a plaque or label?

Is any one familiar with a movie of carriers being assembled at the General Motors plant in Petone? It was shown at the 1981 NZMVCC rally in Wanganui. It belonged to General Motors. I wonder where it is now?

Default A blast from the past, Jim!

I never got to that rally as I was on my OE.

Ross and Leonie may know, as they got some data from the GM records.
