Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 13 February, 1959. "The arrival of the teenage idol (Johnny Devlin) in Palmerston North this morning caused considerable interest. He was driven from the railway station around the Square in "Moriarty" an ancient car owned by nurses at the Palmerston North Hospital."

In 2025, the driver of the car in this photo visited the Ian Matheson City Archives and identified herself and the other passengers. Back: Rangi McGregor, Johnny Devlin, Judy Lang (obscurred). Front: Driver Mandy Harris and passenger Jan Longbottom (obscurred).
