Colourful cars of yesteryear lined the streets near the Bradman Museum for the monthly Cars and Coffee meet on Sunday.
The club was joined by the host of Classic Restos television show host Mark Fletcher, who promoted the day to his large social media audience.
Mr Fletcher's show is broadcast on smaller television networks in six countries including Papua New Guinea, Fiji, New Zealand, England, the United States and Canada.
Mr Fletcher said it was great to see an enormous range of cars of different sizes, colours and chromes.
"Cars aren't built like this anymore, they were made back in an era where they could be made," he said.
"In many respects they're works of art compared to the late model cars of today.
"The late model cars of today are safer and they're more economical to run but they've lost their finesse and class. That's why the old cars are so dynamic to look at.
"We're all going to be gone one day and these things will still be around."
Co-organiser Darren Freer said the monthly meets had gained a large following through social media.
"It started off just to get some of the local car enthusiasts together on a Sunday morning to have a coffee and regular catch up," he said.
"Now we're getting people from outside the area travelling into Bowral. We've had people from Cronulla, Newcastle and Sussex Inlet."

Co-organiser Phil Walmsley said there was a "wide array" of cars at the club's monthly meets.
"Anything from late model super cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris to the early stuff," he said.
"There's no requirement it's got to be old. As long as it's classic or special interest all welcome to come along."
