  • The fashions of the Bay to Birdwood were featured In The Advertiser (South Australia's daily newspaper) today. "The Bay to Birdwood is more than just one of the world's great historic motoring events," says Museum Director, Paul Rees. "The event has always had a strong connection to fashion and the fun of dressing up, right from the very first event in 1980. Many of the entrants match their clothing to the era of their classic vehicle, there's a Fashions in the Field competition that people can enter and a component of the points for the Concours d'Elegance award is connected to the period correct attire of the entrant," said Rees.
