Longwarry Heritage Truck Show 2017 - Atkinson to Ford

The 5th Annual Longwarry Heritage Truck show was held on February 4 and 5, 2017 at the Recreation Reserve in Longwarry. It was expertly run by the Longwarry Football and Netball Club - the Saturday was a bit hot, but had around 150 vehicles and the Sunday had around 200 vehicles. All in all it was a great weekend. We took a photo of most of the trucks on display and in this post you can see all the Atkinsons, Austins, Bedfords, Chevs, Commers, a De Soto, Diamonds, Dodges, a Foden and Fords.

We'll start the Atkinsons off with Peter Farley's recently acquired project. Peter and his wife, Helen, and the main organisers of the Show.
