- SUZANNE SIMONOT

SEVEN-TIME Bathurst winner and Supercars Hall of Famer Jim Richards will lead a street parade through Coolangatt­a when he becomes Cooly Rocks On’s first-ever celebrity grand marshal.

A longtime fan of the free annual celebratio­n of classic cars and tunes in the streets of Coolangatt­a from June 6-10, Supercars great Richards will lead hundreds of classic cars as grand marshal of the popular street parade on June 9.

“It will be a wonderful opportunit­y to be part of what I believe to be one of the best nostalgia festivals in Australia,” he said.

Festival organisers are yet to confirm what vehicle Richards will lead the parade in.
