Motorheads are meticulously putting the final touches on their muscle, vintage, and souped-up cars ahead of tomorrow’s day of displays at the Proserpine Showgrounds.
Whitsunday Old Iron Restorer’s Club will launch their debut Car and Motorcycle Show, Swap Meet and Field Day on Saturday from 9am to 3pm.
The local club is eager to display its “old irons” alongside market stalls and live entertainment for the Proserpine community – especially its car-lovers.
But for those displaying their hotrods – of which there are many; each car club in the region has been invited to show off their motors - it kicks into gear this afternoon, carrying on into the night where anyone can come along for live music at 7pm to 10pm by artist Paul Burger.
For those looking for a day out at showgrounds packed with cars and food, the official start is on Saturday with gates open 9am until 3pm.
It will be the first event of its type for the new club and will send all proceeds from the day to Black Dog Institute - a non-for-profit research organisation investigating mental health diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
“When you’ve got something like what we have – these beautiful cars - you should use it for a good cause,” Club President Mark O’Keefe said.
Mark said there’s plenty to look out for with cars coming from as far afield as Cairns, and hotrods like his own restoration of an ’84 Jeep CJ10 – of which there are only 400 in the world – will be the ones to look out for. As well, patrons can enjoy some excellent vendors, entertainment, and motorbikes.
Entry is a $5 dollar donation.
