went and had a look at this (it's for charity after all), and was impressed at the attendance! ran out of batteries in my camera about a third of the way through.
photo's are a bit haphazard as i just snapped them as i walked along. so many cars, people selling parts...definately attending next year.

Pic 3 is a Buick Centurion from, I think, '72.

Thanks Clutch for these great pics :cool:

Must be a fantastic event, and 150 metres of EH Holdens? I'd like to see that!

If you don't mind a few identities to some of your pics...

Post #3, the wagon is an early sixties Buick Special
Post #4 pic 3, 1938 Buick, likely Holden-bodied
Post #7 pic 1/2, 1970 Valiant VG Hardtop
Post #8 pic 4, big postwar Humber Super Snipe

Love that orange Falcon XA GT sedan in post #13 :)

thanks for the id's nota, i missed quite a few entrants - most of the mini's for example, and there was stuff i just never got to (like the motorbike section).
all in all was well worth the $5 entry fee (well free for students), and speaking to an older gent apparently it was smaller this year :eek: a few clubs were missing he said, especially the british clubs and the early ford musclecar club.
