A stage for the aged

THINK American Graffiti and TV shows like 77 Sunset Strip that had T-Buckets roaming the streets with the Beach Boys on high rotation.
The American scene boasted some of the most colourful and unique vintage cars around – and Sunday’s your chance to take a step back in time to see them at the 18th All American Car Display and Swap Meet at Gembrook.
The event, at the local sports ground, will host more than 500 vehicles of all types, including hot rods, customs, veteran, vintage and many commercial type vehicles. The Rotary club of Emerald and Districts and the Thunderbirds Rod and Custom Club have organised the show.
The family day swap meet is open to all American vehicles, including Holden, Ford and Chrysler vehicles made before 1975. Proceeds from the event will go towards the Flood Relief Appeal.
