It’s So Next

Season...

Kev headed down to Billing for the AACI’s Autumn Open

Nationals... in mid-August!

Words & photography: Kev Carrington

I couldn’t make this event for the

weekend, so we drove down early

Sunday morning. Billing is a great

venue and still reasonably priced, and

the turnout of cool American cars

and trucks did not disappoint. There

was the usual great mix of trade

stands, and a field full of awesome

muscle cars, trucks, fifties’ cruisers,

and virtually any American marque

you could think of. The weather was

kind to us all day; in fact, I think I

caught the sun a bit!

Some of my favourites were my

Duster (of course!), the stunning

black Pontiac GTO with mile-deep

paint, a blue ‘70 Chevelle, a really

pretty pastel yellow Nash, a ‘new to

the scene’ yellow Dodge Dart Sport

(courtesy of Scott from Mansfield),

a yellow Torino, tons of classic

Mustangs, and right at the back

of the field, a couple of awesome

Aussie Ford Falcon XB GT351s – I love

that shape!

It’s impossible to mention every

one I liked so I just encourage you

to get to these AACI events at Billing

next year; they are not to be missed.

Enjoy the pics.
