I got to the grounds early (about 6am) and watched the oval fill from nothing. 1800 cars were expected for the biggest event of this type in the world.
From the website
"The sun will not yet have risen over the Adelaide Hills when the very first vehicles start arriving at Adelaide Shores. It may only be 6am but the excitement will already be palpable as these marvellous veteran, vintage and early classic vehicles ready themselves for the biennial Bay to Birdwood Run.
Breakfast With The Cars has become a tradition and this is the spectators' opportunity to mix 'n mingle with entrants and their vehicles. Enjoy a range of breakfasts provided by local service organisations washed down with jazz and other vintage entertainment, line the start ahead of the flag off by the one and only Glen Dix at 8:30 am and be a part of this icon event. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for all entrant vehicles to depart on the route to Birdwood - give them a send off they won't forget!
Vehicles head down West Beach Road after the official Start turning right into Tapleys Hill Road then left into Anzac Highway. Their journey through metropolitan Adelaide en route to the Finish at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood enables the spectators who line the 72km route each year to see Australia's greatest motoring show on wheels pass right in front of them - 2 hours of motoring history!"
The cars need to meet strict guidelines and the drivers and passangers are encouraged to dress in period clothes.
"Only those motor vehicles built and at ready for sale stage on or before 31 December 1955 are eligible to take part.
The onus of proof of date of build is the responsibility of the entrant and if required by the Committee must be substantiated and be supported by a Statutory Declaration. In the event of false information being supplied all entry monies will be forfeited.
All motor vehicles must be substantially to manufacturers' specifications, roadworthy and of acceptable standard of quality in the opinion of the Committee."
I enjoyed the ride. We passed many broken down cars whilst gliding along in my fathers Jowett Javelin.
We ended up in the fields behind the Birdwood Mill. We looked through the muesum and also the best dressed cars in the Concours d'Elegance. We listened to period music and poked about amongst the cars.

A part of the open-air town museum "Den Gamle By" (English: The Old Town). In the building there is a garage.

In 1914, the museum opened as the world's first open-air museum of its kind, concentrating on town culture rather than village culture. The museum consists of 75 historical buildings collected from 20 townships in all parts of the country. The town itself is the main attraction but most buildings are open for visitors. The rooms are either decorated in the original historical style or organized into larger exhibits.
Giving the lie to Henry Ford's dictum of having any colour as long as it is black is this Model T brass radiator roadster of 1913.
Lookout just outside of Young. I decided to do around 250km each day on the way to and from Echuca. This worked well as I'd be at my destination for lunch. The Model T is an extremely comfortable car and I always arrived refreshed even after such a long drive. Despite the Olympic Way being two lanes in most places, I didn't have any trouble with other traffic. Cruising speed most of the time was 60-70km/h.
