Myrtleford's Chopped and Changed Kustom Car Club Inc. is set to host its tenth-annual Show and Shine at the Savoy Club this Sunday, 2 November to make use of a more visible venue and reach more fellow classic car enthusiasts as they drive into town.
“We’re hoping for it to be a big thing in Myrtleford," club secretary, John Goodman said.
“We’ve previously held it at the showgrounds which was a beautiful venue, but it's out of the way of the main drag.
“We’re hoping for a more vibrant event: we've got an emcee lined up for the day, live music, there'll be delicious food available from the Savoy Club so it should be a great day out."
Club president, Guido Cossigniani, said the club is expecting at least 150 show cars at this year's event and approximately 400 guests, hopefully more.
