Beauties of the four-wheeled kind will park under the blossoms on Chadwick Rd next month as Greerton Village’s Cherry Blossom Festival revs up for 2023 on Saturday, September 16.

As usual, the Streets & Customs Club invite owners to display their precious classic and specialty cars in the Show and Shine for free for the community to see.

Club member Greig Covell says this year’s Show and Shine is the club’s 46th bash – and he’s hoping for a great turnout of cars.

Chadwick Rd between Cameron Rd and Greerton Rd roundabouts will be closed from 9am to hold the show – enabling people to meander Greerton Village’s main stretch to appreciate cars and blossoms from 10am-2pm.

The Show and Shine is open to American and Australian classic cars and special interest vehicles – preferably V8-powered, says Greig.

“The bottom line is no Japanese cars. Some are very nice but that’s a different class. We lean towards American and Australian classics, V8s, hotrods and speciality cars.

“Our famous no-reserve auction, featuring sponsored products, will happen 12.30pm – so don’t miss out!”

Al Dawson & the Wildcats will entertain showgoers, and nearby is Greerton Village School’s annual monster fair. Local cafes and retailers will be open too, making it a not-to-be-missed event for the whole family.

“The blokes can wander the cars, the ladies can shop, the kids can enjoy the school gala – and there’s plenty of food and drink to purchase.”

Chadwick Rd closes 9am September 16 for the Show and Shine. Free vehicle entry is at Greerton Rd roundabout.
