Four of the clubs lady members gathered for a photo shoot and a celebratory drink before the event.
Christine Miskell arrived in her white 1986 Toyota Celica.
The 2 litre twin cam had obviously been sitting dormant for a little too long before the drive to town because a rogue frog hopped out during the photo shoot.
Joanne Hemming brought her red 1965 MGB roadster across the mad mile from Forbes for the evening, bravely declaring that women do it better.
I jumped it, then fuel started leaking from the tank, and I couldn't get the bonnet to latch down; but the show must go on.
- Janelle Goodsell
Jo MacDonald from Parkes featured her 2006 VZ Holden Calais. Her red V6 sedan being the modern car on the night.
And Janelle Goodsell took out the against all odds award.
Her little car wouldn't start first off due to a flat battery.
"I jumped it, then fuel started leaking from the tank, and I couldn't get the bonnet to latch down; but the show must go on," she declared.
Janelle made it in her white 1970 MG Midget.
All four ladies are members of the Central West Car Club which is based in Parkes.
The club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at the Parkes Leagues Club.
They hold regular street meets at the outdoor Coles carpark in Parkes once a month for members and non-members with details available on their Facebook page.
More information about the club can be found on their website www.centralwestcarclub.com .
The Central West Car Club was formed in 1954 following a meeting of people from all walks of life who shared a common interest in racing high powered vehicles.
Community members are reminded to save the date on Sunday, October 19 for the annual Charity Show 'n' Shine.
Presented by Parkes Tyrepower & Mechanical in association with Parkes Antique Motor Club and Shannons, the Central West Car Club's Car Show is run to raise money for the Parkes Branch of Can Assist.
