All Ford Day

In 1984 the Falcon GT Club of WA and the Mustang Owners Club of WA joined forces to co-host the first All Ford Day Car Show in Western Australia.  The first show was held at Subiaco and gone on from strength to strength ever since.

The show now attracts well in excess of 400 cars from both clubs and private entrants from rural and metropolitan Western Australia, approximately 20 traders and over 12 000 punters file through the gates.  Since the second show in 1985, the All Ford Day has been presented to the public every two years and has moved from Subiaco Oval to Leederville Oval, to Perth Oval and the latest venue has been Bassendean Oval.

In 1999 the All Ford Day Committee was approached by Ford and invited to help celebrate the 75^th birthday of Ford Australia in the year 2000.  One of the conditions was the show needed to be close to a Ford Dealer.  Therefore an extra show was put on at Dixon Reserve, opposite Challenger Ford in Rockingham.  This show was well supported by Ford Australia with a $20 000 support package and drew a huge range of cars and spectators.

In 2001 the committee introduced the concept of an All Ford Day cruise.  The aim of this was to encourage new people to enter their cars into the show and to give organisers a bit of a break after putting on 2 big shows in a row.  Tradition now is that a cruise is run on the even years and the show on the odd years.
