Members,
I was approached recently to see if there were anybody who would like to display their vintage/classc caravan at this event.
Details and contact are below.
They were hoping for room for up to 10 vans to be displayed.
Note that you must contact the secretary Doug Murphy first and not just turn up.
We at the Chrysler Owners’ Club would welcome vintage and classical caravans tp participate in the forthcoming Chrysler Expo on September 1, Fathers Day, at Rocklea Showgrounds, Brisbane.
The theme of this year’s Expo is on vintage and historic vehicles and things mechanical, such as the steam roller and/or stationary engines and Penny Farthing and historical bicycles. There will be a wide range of exhibits, as you can see from the map in the attachment. We think with the wide range of exhibits, plus movement (eg historic bicycles and the historic buses giving kid rides), and sound will be an attracting and entertaining formula. New, different and dynamic. Virtually every Club and enthusiast collector approached, has signalled they will be participating with exhibits. The RACQ is supportive with advertising and a display from their museum.
In order to develop this event into a future, premier, must see, annual event on the Brisbane calendar, we invite you to be involved at this first event.
Just an idea. A few minutes (7?) drive from the Showgrounds, is the Rocklea Markets, one of Brisbane’s biggest. Gates there open at 6 am and there are numerous stalls selling all sorts of stuff. If you wanted, you could position your van at the Showgrounds and duck up to the markets for awhile. Given the number of exhibits and the capacity of the Showgrounds, we could probably accommodate up to say ( the first 10) vans.
And yes there are attractions for the kids, including the model railways display, the bus rides and a jumping castle. Please let your friends know about this premium event. Details of the 2019 Expo are shown on the attached flyer and map and the information below.
If you would like to come, please contact me (and if you have a classic Chrysler vehicle, you will be doubly welcome)
Regards
Doug Murphy
