The Otago Community Hospice Charity Cruise and Car Show is returning for the 15th time on Sunday, November 24.
Representing the "old" is a 1957 Two-Ten Chevrolet Belair owned by Peter Addis.
The saloon has not been refurbished; instead, the original olive-green paintwork can be glimpsed under a patina of patches and rust stains.
Mr Addis said he preferred keeping the distressed look rather than refurbishing it.
"Shiny paint causes stress.
"I can just use it for whatever and anytime, it just does not matter."
The saloon came into his possession about a year ago on a trip north.
"We went up to Napier last year to the Robbie Williams concert, and this popped up at a marketplace there.
"We went and saw it, loved it, and bought it off the guy."
In the "new" category is Sommer Penson’s 2018 2SS Chevrolet Camaro.
The US-built, left-hand-drive sports car has a 455-horsepower 6.2-litre small-block V8 engine.
This is the first time she has owned a muscle car, but she has a long history of enjoying them first-hand.
"My dad has had them my whole life."
She has owned it for about two months but is already getting used to people waving at her as she drives past.
Alongside the joy of being behind the wheel, Miss Penson has begun displaying it at shows.
For the recent Autospectacular Car Show she dressed it up as a wedding car.
"I put a black ribbon on it and some flowers around it."
The Charity Cruise and Car Show began in 2009 when founder Andrew Webster established the fundraiser as a way to support the hospice where his mother died.
The format of the event was an open invitation for car owners to turn up on the day for a show and shine.
If your car or motorcycle was road-legal and unique, it was eligible to take part, Mr Schumacher said.
There was no need to book in advance as owners can simply arrive at Hancock Park from 9am on the day.
Alongside an entry fee, participants are again encouraged to give a packet of biscuits, which will be distributed to hospice shop volunteers as a thank-you.
Judges will award prizes for the best of British, United States, Australian, Japanese and European vehicles, as well as the best motorcycle.
Mr Schumacher encouraged all to enjoy seeing a wide range of cars and motorcycles on display at Hancock Park on Sunday, November 24.
Local band The Foxy Tones will entertain the crowd with music from the ’30s’ and ’40s.
There will be children’s face painting, displays of racing cars and vintage fire engines.
Hot food provided by the Lions Club of Green Island.
At about 1.30pm a convoy of the vehicles will tour through Dunedin and Mosgiel.
