All-American Day

The American cars come out to play in Adelaide, South Australia

On a hot, humid and mostly overcast day in February, South Australian American car enthusiasts bring their pride and joy out for people to admire.

A large playing field in the Adelaide foot-hills was the choice of venue this year, and support from car clubs was particularly strong, bolstered by recent changes to car registration rules which have made it much easier to obtain cheap registration for classic (and particularly modified) vehicles.

The hot weather (35 degrees plus) possibly kept away a percentage of the spectators, but there were still plenty there, and crowds continued to grow over the several hours I was present taking photographs. I did notice an exceptionally high number of photographers wandering around.

So, on with a few pictures of the event and a sample of the cars I found most interesting!
