Back to the 1950s

The Shannon’s Wheels charity car and bike display will be held at the Queanbeyan Showground on Sunday 19 February 2023.

The 41st display is being organised by the Canberra Antique and Classic Motor Club on behalf of the Council of ACT Motor Clubs. The Council has 75 affiliated clubs.

The show features vehicles from the early days of motoring right up to the latest generation of EVs.

The 2023 show also adds another dimension by turning a spotlight onto a particularly interesting era, the 1950s. Clubs are being requested to highlight members' cars and bikes built in the 1950s, as well as their full range

of vehicles from other eras.

The Back to the 1950s spotlight displays will bring back many memories of the fins and chrome era, with American and British cars easily recognisable by their shape and style.There will be a special one-off trophy for the club

with the best display of 1950s vehicles.

The 2023 event will raise funds for local charities.
