"This is the eighth year for the event ... we try to keep it fresh. We really try to cater for everyone, for the family," Kaitangata Car Show and Cruise secretary Louise McLaren said.
"And I think the cruise adds another dimension as well. It's not just a day of show cars."
The cruise this year made its way from Kaitangata to Lawrence, for a refreshment break and back through Clydevale and returning to Kaitangata.
"You get that old Sunday drive type of feel when
everyone gets out to do what they love doing the most, which is driving."
The Bisschop family came from Invercargill with their 1952 Ford Twin Spinner, aptly named "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
The vehicle was done up in black with spacy neon green highlights, to reference the extraterrestrial themed movie, but Lavina Bisschop said there was another reason for the name.
"It's also the third time we've overhauled it. Get it?"
She said this was the first time they had brought this vehicle along to the show, but were long-time attendees and liked "enjoying the atmosphere".
Brad Bisschop said, "We really like coming along and relaxing, and then going out for the cruise."
