Readers' Photos # 30: 2019 King Island Show (Studebaker & Mustang)


The person formerly known as the King Island Correspondent has received a promotion and shall henceforth be known as the King Island Chief Correspondent!  


The KICC's first offering for 2019 comes from the island's Agricultural, Horticultural and Pastoral Society's Show, held annually on the first Tuesday of March in the west coast town of Currie (http://www.kingisland.net.au/ki-special-events/king-island-show).


As the society's name suggests, all manner of things rural feature at the show but there are also hotly contested cookery, art and craft - including Lego building and decoupage - competitions that attract entries from many of the island's locals.


More importantly, there's also a car show that features a truly amazing array of beautiful classics that defy the salty Bass Strait winds and manage to look outstanding (please also see https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2017/03/readers-photos-5-fc-holden-king-island.html?q=king+island and https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2018/03/readers-photos-21-king-island-show.html?q=king+island). 


This year's post features a magnificent Studebaker Cruiser (above) with an interesting combination of 1960s' styled round tail-lights and arguably more contemporary horizontal indicators below them, plus a lovely classic 289 V8-powered Mustang (below).





Congratulations, commiserations and further congratulations to the KICC (chief correspondent status, being out-placed in the bread competition and his family's five first places in various show categories - including a notable gold gong in carrot cake baking - respectively)!
