The Geelong Revival Motoring Festival roars into Geelong with over 900 cars and motorcycles on show on the Geelong Waterfront from November 25-27.
Events range from historic quarter-mile sprints down Ritchie Boulevard, to a trade expo featuring displays and demonstrations, a vintage lifestyle zone and the National Vintage Fashion Awards.
In a festival first, the Hot Wheels Stunt Team will be putting on a series of stunt demonstrations on Ritchie Boulevard on the Saturday and Sunday of the event.
Th team will also have the Hot Wheels Truck with it, which is full of activities and games for kids and adults alike.
Geelong vintage vehicle owner Simon Anderson will be bringing three Brass Era cars and motorbikes to display on the Sunday of the festival.
“The blue one is a 1910 Brush, only made for five years in America because the T Model came out and killed everyone in the market,” Mr Anderson said.
“It’s quite a unique little car. It was built very cheaply, for the people. Most of it is made out of wood, even to the chassis rails.”
Mr Anderson, who is a member of the Western District Historic Vehicle Club and the Veteran Car Club, said vintage cars had always been a part of his life.
He said car enthusiasts were coming from all over the country to visit Geelong for the Motoring Festival.
“It’s huge, we’ve got potentially 1000 cars coming over those three days, and thousands of people,” he said.
“Even in our little group, there are people coming from Queensland, just to come down and have a look, which is fantastic. And it’s fantastic for Geelong and the economy as well.”
