We
will be posting pictures taken from the various
car shows we are able to attend each year, but
naturally we cannot get to them all. If you have
images from a show and would like them published
on this site, please contact
us. And of course you can make sure you never
miss an event, our Classic
Car Event Calendar now featuring the ability
to not only notify your friends of an upcoming
event, but also sending you a friendly reminder
right to your own inbox. |

The Mustang remains one of the most popular classic
cars around, and if the Mustang Muster is anything
to go by, their owners sure know how to maintain
their trusty steeds in fine condition. Blessed
with perfect weather, the 2006 event held at the
Dandenong Showgrounds was a resounding success,
the plethora of cars on display covering all models
and body styles since the Mustang's introduction.
The wonderful display of Generation 1 vehicles
was incredible, and there was representation from
nearly every other model since the Mustang's inception. |

Almost 200 fabulous French cars were on show at
the 2006 French Car Festival, held at Melbourne's
Como Park North in April. Apart from some beautiful
Citroens, Peugeots and Renaults there were some
rare examples of the French car industry's art,
including two Bugattis, a Delage, a Panhard et
Levassor and a De Dion Bouton. Renault Alpine enthusiasts
put on a fine display of almost a dozen cars. |

Another wonderful car display, this time featuring
marques for the USofA. Well over 800 cars were
in attendance, the vast majority being in pristine
condition and all a credit to their owners. Highlights
of the show included the H2 Hummers, Auburn Speedster
and Edsel, although we were mesmerized by the XR
Futura Sports Coupe, stunningly presented and with
a fabulous interior - unfortunately it was not
for sale... |

Another hot day, this time spent at the Geelong
Showgrounds visiting the All Holden Day, organised
by the Geelong FX-HZ Holden Car Club. On display
was a wonderful assortment of classic and modified
Holdens, from the 48/215 through to current day
Holdens including the lovely rebadged Opel import "Tigra".
Too many highlights to single out one, it is much
easier to let the photo shoot do the talking. One
thing is for sure, if you are a Holden fan and
there is an All Holden Day taking place in your
State or Territory, they really are worth the effort
to attend. We should also thank the organisers
for ensuring the cost of entry was kept to a minimum,
at only $2 per adult this was sensational value! |

A fantastic day was had attending the Victorian
RACV "Great Australian Rally" held on
Sunday the 22nd January at the Mornington Race
Track. Oppressive conditions (with the mercury
climbing past 40C) were not enough to deter many
devoted Classic Car fans, impressive considering
very few were blessed with air-conditioning. Naturally
enough the shady spots around the grounds were
snapped up rather quickly. We would like to thank
the many car owners that we spoke to on the day,
and hope to provide more detailed information on
some of the truly
"Unique" cars we spotted that day. |

Sometimes a car club proves that it is not quantity,
but quality, that makes attendance at one of their
events very worthwhile. On display at the
November 2004 Show-N-Shine event held at Albert
Park Lake was a wonderful array of both modified
and extremely original examples of arguably the
most popular and collectable of the early Holden's,
the EH. If you take the time to check out the EH
Holden Car Club of Victoria's web site, you
will note their emphasis is on being a "social" club,
and social it was, with BBQ's in full swing and
everyone in attendance getting into the atmosphere
of an era perhaps past, but never forgotten. And
while we loved the EH's on display, the solitary
EJ in fantastic original condition took our fancy. |
