Noosa Beach Classic Car Club parade of classic cars through the streets from Tewantin to Noosa on Friday heralded the beginning of the club’s car show on Sunday.
Club organiser Graeme Block said about 300 classic cars were exhibited at the car show and each one tells a story.
Kate and Michael Ryder are proud owners of a 1949 Morgan 4-4 they acquired after it was passed down in a family that ran out of car lovers. Michael said with double spares on the back it was a car built for rallies not for comfort.
Barry Jones found his exquisite Porsche 20 years ago wrecked and rusty at a beachside suburb in Melbourne and spent 11 years and untold finances restoring it.
This year the emphasis was on Holdens to mark the closing down of Holden manufacture in the country but there were makes and models of all size and shape.
