Wanganui Road Rodders and their friends filled the grounds of City College on Sunday with their annual River City Park Up. There were vehicles of all types and sizes, from the immaculate to the yet-to-be-restored and everything in between.
Oldies but goodies.
Ian Higgins was there with his top of the Chrysler line, a 1956 Imperial, with air conditioning! He belongs to the Vintage Car Club, but he also had a muscle car in the line-up on Sunday.
