Cadillacs turn heads as they cruise into Guyra

30th Sep 2025

A few heads turned on Friday, September 25, when a convoy of Cadillacs rolled into town as part of a five-day tour of the region.
The visit was organised by the Cadillac Club, which has branches in both Queensland and New South Wales. Each year, the club chooses a location to gather, and this year the Guyra, Armidale and Uralla area was selected.
Around 10 to 15 cars took part in the local stopover, drawing plenty of interest from onlookers. After calling into the Guyra Car Museum, the group enjoyed lunch at the Royal Hotel before continuing their journey.
Club member Robert Natoli, who travelled from Sydney, said it was his first time stopping in Guyra, although he has passed through many times.
“We like to host events that celebrate cars and history, and with the car museum here in Guyra it really fitted the bill,” he said.
Mr Natoli explained that Cadillacs hold a special place in automotive history.
“There’s a real connection between Cadillacs and the rock and roll era of the fifties. They were big, bold and a little ostentatious - that’s what makes them so iconic,” he said.
“Judging by the interest, having Cadillacs in Guyra is pretty unique. They’re incredibly comfortable to drive, although when we plan trips like this, we do have to map out the route petrol station to petrol station.”
The visit was part of a wider tour across the New England, giving locals a rare chance to see the classic American cars up close.
