The largest gathering of Chryslers in the Southern Hemisphere will take place in Albury, New South Wales, from 18th-20th March, when the thirteenth ‘Chryslers on the Murray’ celebration takes place.

Organised by the Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club, this year’s annual event will see 400 cars and over 2,000 enthusiasts gather to celebrate their common passion for Chrysler vehicles.

The two day affair will attract enthusiasts from as far away as New Zealand and Western Australia.

Each year a particular era of Chrysler product is spotlighted and this year’s tribute will be given to the U.S. muscle cars of the sixties and early seventies.

Approximately fifty muscle cars will be in attendance, including Dodge Chargers and Challengers, Plymouth Baracudas and Road Runners - some of these vehicles powered by the revered 426 HEMI® engine.

The activities will include a Saturday cruise to Tallangatta, with a spectacular U.S. muscle car photo shoot and seminar.

A show 'n' shine event will take place on Sunday 20th March, attracting around 10,000 spectators to Oddies Creek Reserve on the banks of the Murray River.

Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and DeSoto manufactured vehicles of various ages will attend the show.

The exciting HEMI powered V8 Chrysler 300C, which goes on sale in Australia in late 2005, will also be on display on the Sunday.

“Chryslers on the Murray is just an amazing spectacle,” said Rod Taylor, member of the show committee.

“It all makes for a relaxing weekend enjoying great scenery, good people and classic Chrysler cars,” he added.

A swap meet also takes place on the Saturday and Sunday at Oddies Creek Reserve.

Spectator entry to all events is free.
