Engines will be roaring in Queenscliff as the HK HT HG Holden Nationals rolls into town this weekend.
Holden models from 1969 to 1971 will be on public display on Saturday, November 11, from 10am to 2pm at Lower Princess Park.
Organiser Cherie Smith said there would be lots of cars for the public to look at, including Monaros, Panelvans, Wagons, Ute, Broughams, Kingswood and Premier sedan Holden models.
“The show on Saturday is the big Show ‘n’ Shine and that’s open to the public to come down and check out all the cars on display,” she said.
“We’ll also have Australia’s fastest HG Kingswood there to do some static startups through all the crowd, and it’ll just be a celebration of an era of cars.
Entrance to the event is free, with a gold coin donation optional for charity and will feature cars from across Australia and New Zealand, food trucks, fun activities, and coffee, slushie and ice cream vans.
The event on Saturday will also feature a minute of silence and a unique vehicle display for people to pay their respects as part of Remembrance Day.
Ms Smith said this is the first time Victoria will host the nationals and would help inspire people to take a trip down the Great Ocean Road and share their love and cars.
The Holden Nationals had been held in different parts of Australia since 2018, and after being postponed in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID, the event was pushed back to 2023.
