Wintersun,
'07.
The weather was almost terrible for
the last weekend of the gala event, in that the Friday and Saturday
were unseasonably cold - for Coolangatta. Southern visitors would
have felt right at home, but at least the rain stayed away, in the
main. Registration numbers were up, and despite the weather, I am
sure the pedestrian numbers would have been up also.
Various new elements and venues were added to the list of events
that kept a large number of visitors busy for the week. New
accommodation towers will be available next year, which will help
with prices & availability of somewhere to hang your hat.

a smooth '30 closed cab Model A.
Corey Parker, a professional footballer with the Brisbane Broncos,
had his orange '37 Plymouth parked right by his Dad's chopped jail
bar pickup.
This sweet '65 vette had a dynamite small block, and a sensible
5-speed box.
This '67 Camaro has the rare 396 big block option, with the even
rarer Paxton supercharger after-market option.
There were lots of Willys lovers at Wintersun, though there were but
a couple of Willys coupes. Next year.

Freshly minted, this early A roadster pickup was well finished
throughout.

chrome rendition hits the spot.

Brisbane's Northern Districts hot rod club for the week of rods 'n

black, super straight body drew some admiring glances.
