HCVC

By Kevin Toovey

Ayearly event that draws all the motoring enthusiasts together with nearly 1000 vehicles from 70 clubs. Held at the Ascot Racecourse, the venue is great with lots of grassed areas, good amenities and there is something for the whole family to look at. Even if your main interest is commercial vehicles and trucks I don’t think you will ever fail to be impressed by some of the paint work, power and glamour that is on show. Thanks to Shannon’s insurance, another great day out.

Above,: The V16 black Cadillac drew plenty of attention. The length of the car is quite amaazing and the price tag is something else. Right,Chev Bel Air by the roses.

The Bus Preservation Society of WA had a good line up of five restored buses. They are always a crowd pleaser as you can walk on, take a seat at the back and be transported back in time. They had plenty of volunteers there to answer all your questions. It’s a big job to restore a bus and the volunteers have been doing it for 50 years.
