All Ford Day prepares world-class car show in Geelong

THE 32nd annual All Ford Day is back, bringing more than 1,000 of the world’s finest Fords to Geelong next weekend.

For car enthusiasts, the day will bring Ford vehicles of all types, ages and models, classic race and muscle cars, hot rods, street machines and more to Eastern Park.

For the rest of the family, there will also be food trucks, festivities, celebrity appearances, automotive industry displays and entertainment for the whole family.

Event secretary Chris Sager said the day is a family-friendly community event, with easy accessibility and something for everyone on the day – especially if you’re interested in cars.

“It doesn’t matter what marque you follow, it’s a great day to be able to enjoy some truly unique vehicles,” Sager said.

“It is a massive community event. We have ample parking for spectators, we have food trucks, we have Geelong Cats personalities, and Ford Australia are working to bring some V8 Supercar drivers along.”

Mr Sager said a full gamut of Fords will be on display, from Model As and Model Ts vintages, chrome bumper classics up to modern vehicles.

He also said the day would feature special guests in the form of Very Important Vehicles (VIVs), such as the famous number nine Ford VTHO that raced at the Bathurst 1000, and Australia’s only Mustang RTR Spec 5 – one of only 10 cars of the type in the world.

“Every year we would probably have up to 20 half-a-million-dollar vehicles on site… some of these vehicles only come out of the shed once a year for Ford Day.”

All Ford Day will take place at Eastern Park, Geelong on March 19 from 9am to 3pm.
