Rundle Street Bay to Birdwood Display

Some weeks back a post went out on the Bay to Birdwood page Facebook page asking for submissions of interest to participate in a display on Rundle Street for Sunday September 13 to promote the upcoming Classic Run.

To my knowledge this was the first time. I sent an email in explaining the story of the Corona, and a little anecdote about my wife's interest in the car with a couple of photos. Lo-and behold The Corona was selected to participate. No mean feat as the cars selected were of supreme quality and a real cross section of society. Cars (like ours) that everyday people owned, up to the mayor's Jensen Interceptor and everything in between.

So tickled with our story ABC 891 called for an on-air interview about the event and our little car! Probably the highlight of my year!

They blocked off the entire bottom half of Rundle Street for the whole day and had local bands play era-appropriate music. There were around 100 vehicles in total. Awesome to be included!
