Harden Historic Truck and Tractor Club Show 2018 - Part 2 - Kenworths to Whites

We took the 1989 Volvo N12 Intercooler, the 1976 Volvo N10 and the 1973 Volvo F86 up to the Harden Historic Truck and Tractor Club 5th annual Show on Sunday March 18, 2018. There  was a mix of historic and working trucks, plus tractors and cars. Unfortunately, the weather was very ordinary - windy, hot and  a dust storm in the late morning, which kept visitor numbers down, so the show was pretty much over by 1.00pm. Anyway, we had a great time and will make the 1,363 km trip from Cora Lynn to Harden for the next show in 2019!

This post shows all the Kenworths through to the Whites, including the Volvos. There were nine Volvos in all - what a great display! To see the Bedfords alphabetically through to the Internationals, click here.

Historic Vehicle Show at Clunes 2018 - Part 2 - Fords, Internationals and Kenworths

The Ballarat Branch of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club held their 8th annual Historic Vehicle Show on March 11, 2018 at the Clunes Showgrounds. Great event - we took a photo of most of the trucks on display but there was also lots of historic cars, motor bikes, tractors - it's one of my favourite shows.  This post shows the Fords, Internationals and Kenworths on display. To see the trucks alphabetically from Albion to Dodge to GMC, click here. To see the Macks  through the alphabet to the Volvos to the White, click here.

The most popular make of truck on the truck show circuit is the International and the most popular colour is red - so here are all the red Inters
