Former Warrnambool local Michael Hudson was happy to travel back to his hometown from Melbourne to show off his 1946 Bedford O model truck.

The vehicles were showcased by enthusiasts from far and wide and this year’s event (once again hosted by the Warrnambool and District Historical Vehicle Club) featured a showcase of classic German marques – celebrating 100 years of Mercedes Benz.

The Warrnambool club was founded in 1973 and comprises members with a shared passion for restoring, preserving and sharing veteran, vintage and classic vehicles.

This includes trucks, cars, tractors, motorcycles and stationary engines.

Over the year’s the club’s annual Lake Pertobe display has become a favourite among not only local residents but also visitors to the region over the busy holiday period.
