Wintersun 2008

If there’s one thing I love more than long weekends, it’s classic cars. It just so happens that it’s possible to combine the two with the Wintersun festival, a rock and roll nostalgia event held at Coolangatta. Part of the festival is a classic car show exclusively for pre-1974 vehicles.

From rat rods to hot rods, from Mustangs to Bel Airs, this show had a fantastic collection of privately owned vehicles on display. Rachel and I went down to check it out and took about a hundred photos in the process, which I plan to share in a few themed posts.

First though, I’ll share our favourite vehicles of the day.

First up is Rachel’s favourite, a beautiful custom 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.

My favourite was a Mustang, of course. Here’s me next to a 1967 Mustang Mach 1.
