More than 350 Chryslers were on display at the Midstate Mopars on Sunday.
Run by the Central Victorian Chrysler Club, the Bendigo-based event is now in its 12th year.
“This is maybe the second or third biggest Chrysler-focused car show in the country,” Mopars MC Matt Bubner said. “People and cars from Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia have travelled here.

“The fact this is not a traditional setting is unique. Cars are in the streets rather than on an oval and it ads a flavour to the event.”
The Central Victorian Chrysler Club also donated $5000 to Parkinson’s VIctoria, $1000 to community radio station Fresh FM and $1000 to the Marong SES.
Since 2009, the Chrysler Club has donated more than $45,000 to various charity organisations.
More than 200 Chryslers are already parked in Lyttleton Terrace for the Mid State MOPARS. Organisers are expecting up to 350 cars to be on display. pic.twitter.com/B9S5YScjvo
