Chryslers return to the bay

Chryslers by the Bay will return to Geelong for a great day of classic cars while fundraising for a good cause.

Bay City Chrysler Car Club will host the static car show on Sunday 8 March to help raise money for the Wheel4MND charity.

President David McNamara said people could expect to see close to 200 cars on display during the car show.

“On the day of the show, everyone comes in, parks their cars, and walks around while looking at all the cars,” he said.

“In a way, it’s a bit of nostalgia for some of the older folks, because they can see some of the cars that either they grew up with or their parents drove.”

Mr McNamara said he was always “amazed at what people have in their garages” and that he hoped everyone had a good day.

“I have a 1973 Dodge Challenger, which I call my toy, and it’s a great car to drive around in, and it’s a bit of fun to drive,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to everyone having a good day and seeing how much we can raise for the charity…and the love people put into their cars.

“You always see people walking around with smiles on their faces, looking at the old cars, and everyone puts in an effort to make sure their cars are in tip-top shape.”

Chryslers by the Bay Car Show will be held from 7.30am to 3.30pm at Geelong Baptist College, with spectator entry by a gold coin donation.
