The Mulwala man was one of hundreds of car lovers with a vehicle on display at the annual Chryslers on the Murray Event at the weekend.
For Mr Dean, the event is a chance to catch up with friends and talk about their vehicles.
“It was advertised on Facebook,” he said of his Valiant, one of five cars he owns.
“As soon as I saw it, I knew I’d be driving it home.
“I just like the fact it’s a 48-year-old workhorse and it’s still going.
“I’ll keep it until I can’t drive it any more.”
It was the 14th time Mr Dean had attended the event, which started in 1992.
“It’s a fantastic weekend,” he said.
