Ford fans can start getting excited – the countdown is on to the largest gathering of Ford vehicles in Australia.

All Ford Day has announced that its 31st annual celebration of the blue oval will be held on Sunday, April 3, 2022.

Enjoying its second year at the Eastern Park location adjacent to the Geelong waterfront, All Ford Day is a staple of the event calendar for Geelong residents and the Ford community since 1991.

All Ford Day encapsulates the rich history of the Ford Motor Company in Geelong, spanning over 90 years.

The Ford Motor Company has been involved as the major partner of All Ford Day since its inception, and each year more than 1200 vehicles are displayed to document Ford’s evolution from the Model T to the Mustang, with everything in between.

“All Ford Day provides the Ford community a chance to come together in appreciation for a beloved icon of motoring,” All Ford Day event secretary Chris Sager said.

“We’ve all missed the opportunity to be among like-minded motoring enthusiasts, and it’s thanks to the efforts of our volunteers, local council and state government that we are able to present the 31st All Ford Day for the enjoyment of the community.”

Browsing the many displays of lovingly maintained Ford vehicles, enthusiasts can reminisce about the cars of their childhood, whilst children will discover a world before their time.

Vehicles will be displayed and judged in over 40 categories over the course of the day, with the overall winner to be awarded the perpetual William Clay Jr Trophy.

Tickets for both entrants and spectators will be on sale at allfordday.org.au and facebook.com/allforddaygeelong/
