Castlemaine Rods will celebrate their 60th anniversary with a ‘Show and Shine’ event at the Campbells Creek Football Netball ground this Sunday April 3.
A massive display of hot rods and classic cars is expected as people dust off their much loved vehicles after two years of covid lockdowns.
Among the enthusiasts to attend with be local hot rod legends and Castlemaine Rods life members Peter Swift and Eddie Ford, the duo credited with starting the local movement in Castlemaine.
The Mail enjoyed a chat with the pair about how it all started and their whirlwind trip to America to source parts in 1966. Catch today’s paper for the full story and details on Sunday’s celebration.
