The final event at the National Motor Museum saw a record crowd of 11,581 people enjoy delicious food, live entertainment and children’s activities, and the fabulous vintage fashions. The fashions in the field competition also broke records with 63 people entered this year in the most authentic fashions of the 50s, 60s and 70s. The winners were: Most Authentic 50s fashion: Ebony West. Most Authentic 60’s fashion: Winners: Debbie and John Goddard. Most Authentic 70’s fashion: Kirsty, Ryan and Flynn Turner.
The highlight of the finish was the Concours d’Elegance. This year, 65 entrants went to great lengths to impress the judges with their vintage vehicle, personal attire, and overall presentation. His Excellency the Honourable Hieu Van Le AO presented the highly coveted trophy for the 2015 Bay to Birdwood Concours d’Elegance, to Mark & Julia Kraulis, who won with their beautiful 1956 Chevrolet Belair.
