The Federation was formed in 1970 and to date has 55 clubs in
its membership.
Meetings are held on a quarterly basis and various items in
relation to historic vehicles are discussed by members
and information from these meetings is taken back to
member clubs.
The Federation is proud to have commenced the Picnic days at
Marong and Pakenham and the Australia Day display in the
Flagstaff gardens Melbourne. At these events people
interested in historic vehicles meet with other enthusiasts
to share items of interest in a relaxed atmosphere.
In 1975 the annual Swap meeting which had up until then been run
by the VDC at Gisborne was moved to Bendigo and by agreement
the management and organisation handed over to the Veteran
Vintage & Classic Club Bendigo. The Federation remains the
owners of the Swap and is proud of the growth that this event
has seen since its inception.
