Historic Motor Vehicles

The first Cruise-in car night of the year for tableland car enthusiasts was held recently at the Atherton Men's Shed on Railway Lane.  These events are open to vintage, restored classic or customed cars, trucks and motorcycles with people travelling from all over the Atherton district to gather and show off their pride and joys.  Dozens of historic cars and motor cycles were brought in by their owers for the display which was hampered by wet weather.  Most of the cars this time were from the period of the Sixties and Seventies although they ranged up to much newer specialist vehicles.  The Atherton Men's Shed has organized a number of these car shows now and it is good to see an event for those involved in our motoring heritage but who have vehicles which don't really fit into the vintage car movement.  The guys from the Shed are hoping to put on these events every two or three months.
