I have a few vette friends in Oz so it's nice to see your shows, about the same as here. I notice the cars are still LH drive, are most like that or converted to RH drive?

the cars that are on club registration are normally left LHD. the cars have to be older than 25 years to be on club registration and still LHD

Very nice!! I can't imagine the difficulty in getting parts for those late 50's Fords. They're scarce in the US!!

Other than the steering wheel being on the right side on some of the cars the show looks like any other in the US.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, they look great, and you got a nice ride, they all look like they just came off the assembly line.
By the looks, all had great time, and that's what's it all about!

Seeing the right-hand drive on some of those older classics is weird. Great gathering of cars though!

Cool that you can keep the wheel on the right left side and not on the wrong right side

Great pictures, thanks for sharing them. It's hard to imagine that a '57 Bel Air was right hand drive out of the factory (?).

the club permits enable you to either drive your car for 90 days or 45 days and that also determines the yearly cost of registration

there are some great places over here, that can convert from lhd to rhd but it is not a cheap process, but then again most like to leave their cars lhd
