Dunedin hosted a spectacular procession of American automobiles over the weekend, as engines roared around the city as part of this year's National Corvette Convention.
Over a hundred Chevrolet Corvettes - representing different eras - gathered in Sunnyvale on Sunday morning, for a journey through some of the city's scenic routes.
The convoy covered more than a hundred kilometres around greater Dunedin, showcasing the timeless beauty of Chevy cars.
Vehicle owner Trevor Paramenter said it was a very enjoyable drive.
"We had a great run out through the countryside today. It was beautiful out to Brighton and very enjoyable," he said.
Mr Paramenter is also the proud owner of a classic 1959 C1 Chevy Corvette, and was delighted to take home several awards over the weekend, a fitting reward for keeping his beloved vehicle in top condition.
"It's mainly all about about the people," he said.
Chirstchurch resident Jackon Taylor was the youngest attendee at the event, and insists it's more than just about cars for him.
"My great uncle was always into them. He passed away two to three years ago and my aunty wanted to continue that so it's become a family affair," Taylor said.
The National Corvette Convention is aimed at celebrating the iconic automobiles, as well as fostering connections among enthusiasts, making it a memorable and social weekend.
