Default Aussie Car Show Photos

Well just returned from a wonderful morning and afternoon attending a local car show & swap meet. Had a good walk around and I am plum tuckered out. Not as young as I used to be.
Anyway here are some photos I took. Haven't captioned any of them. Feel free to ask questions if you want. Hope you enjoy them.

I really, really liked the photo's. Some great cars. I particularly liked the Aussie issue variations of cars and such...... the bit of culture difference on some mods on the old ones was really interesting. cool!

Wow, lots of really cool cars. I don't know most of the Australian ones, but they do look nice. I remember seeing one of those 3 wheeled jobs on Top Gear. They kept rolling it on its side, lol.

Looks like a great show. Thanks for posting them up. Interested to see the Ford Anglia, my Dad had a van version when I was young.

Thanks for posting. I really like the mix of foreign and American based cars. Around here when going to car shows it's 75% SBC and I'm sick of that.

Is there any problem with rust in Australia?

We are quite lucky here with our weather so no salted roads etc. Any rusted cars can be normally easily saved.

Mad Max is sitting at the Silverton Pub in far far Western New South Wales.

My '66 Grand Prix is sitting beside him.

Gotta confess that picture is about 8 years old so Max might have moved on by now

That was a great trip up there. Burnt some miles up that time

Great show and really nice cars. Thanks for the photos. It still warms the cockles of my heart tho on seeing the left-hand drive US cars in the mix. Enjoy your summer shows down there.

Agree GR8 photos and interesting to see many of the Aussie variants of some US vehicles. Some of those Utes are a hoot!
