American Truck Historical Society Australian Chapter president Tony Murphy said the Echuca truck display was the group’s main show for the year.
“The club’s main aim is to preserve the past for the future, that’s our motto,” Tony said.
“All these old transport vehicles and trucks are a part of Australian history.
“Because if we didn’t have the trucks, there would be nothing in the shops.
“Most of the members have club-registered trucks over 25 years old.
“We have trucks that date back as far as the early 1900s, and this Echuca display gives everybody a chance, when the sun starts coming out again, to come out and display their rigs.”
Despite its name, the American Iron event showcases a diverse array of trucks, including American and international brands.
“Then there are also English trucks like Bedfords and Commer and different trucks like that,” Tony said.
“There are various trucks, from light utilities to heavy trucks and road train-rated trucks.
“Several classic cars will be displayed, with the local car club bringing cars along.”
Before the display opens to the public, the American Truck Historical Society Australian Chapter will gather for drinks and food for members and their families on Friday night.
Anyone who drives up to the gate in a rig to be displayed, entry to the American Iron Echuca Truck Display is free for you and your passengers.
Family-friendly ticket options are available at the gate, with single-day or weekend passes for adults and free entry for children under 16.
