O.K., not strictly a car show, but cars on display none the less. :D First Sunday each May is the Collector Pumpkin festival. There's lots of things to do with Pumpkins - biggest, smallest, carvedest, decoratedest, yumest pie / scones / pickle, etc. You can eat Pumpkin Bread / Scones / Pie / Tart / Pastie / Soup / Ice cream (better than you'd reckon). There's Scarecrows & Wheelbarrow races & battles - lots of stuff.
And you can take your old car, display it & get in free. ;) Cars were from Yass A.M.C., Canberra A.M.C., Canberra Riley Club, Canberra Ratrods and Goulburn A.M.C.
It's a good excuse to get the car out on the road.
Only one other Japan car, but it's nice to roll up & park beside a Datto 2000.

It's an unresored example, & pretty good. (non original seats).
One of the rattyrods - Short a panel?, just make one out of checkerplate!

Fang'n the Bellett is always somethin' to crow about, Matt. Some would pay a fortune for that "Rat Rod" and transform it into a "Rod Beast". I bet that pulled some pumpkins in it's day.

Best keep those holdens and falcons out of the picture, could spoil the scenery !

What a lovely turnuot in the "donga".
