Organised by
The Hudson -AMC car Club of Australia Inc.
American Independents Display day this year
was held at Linnwood House 25 Byron Rd Guildford. This is the second year
this event has been held at these amazing grounds which are ideal for
these types of car shows, plenty of room to park the cars on the grass and
plenty of shade if that is what you want. This event brings together
vehicles made by the Independent Motor Companies of America, vehicle such
as Hudson-Essex-Terraplane-Rambler -AMC-Studebaker-Packard-Willys-Auburn-Franklin.
All the Independent American makes other than the big three, GM Ford &
Chrysler. Members were asked to dress in the period of their cars which
adds colour to the day and looks fantastic. |

 |
| The Day is usually held in July
to coincide with American Independence Day 4th July, but this year was
held in May as about 30 odd of our Hudson AMC members are traveling to the
United States of America to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Hudson
Motor Company, which will be held in Pontiac which is about 40 miles from
Detroit, the birth place of the motor industry in America from Monday 13th
July through to Friday 17th July.2009 |

 |
| There is no judging of the
cars on the day as the aim is to bring members of the various clubs,
and their families together for a fun day and last but not least to
show their cars to the general public to look admire and ask questions of
their vehicles. Age of the Vehicles ranged from 1919 to the late 70's so a
good cross section of vehicles. A small admission is charged to show your
vehicle with all the proceeds to go to The Friends of Linnwood House to
help the conservation of this historic building. |
 |
 |
| For entertainment there was
plenty for the public to appreciate such as the Holroyd City Band, Rock'n
Roll & Swing Dancers, Elvis Presley fan club display, the NRMA had a
display of their vintage vehicles and a display of early memorabilia.
There were soft drinks, sausage sizzle, cake stalls . Viewing of
this historic house could be had for a very small fee of $2.00 also going
to the House restoration with Devonshire teas in the house also available
for a small charge. |
 |
 |
| On show were approx 60 odd cars
for the public to look at, a bigger turn out from our first display which
was held in 2008, so hopefully this event will get bigger and better every
year As more enthusiasts get to know of this event. Much publicity was
given over local radio stations, local newspapers , the Daily Telegraph
and general advertising to which we thank all those who contributed. |
 |
 |
| Thanks also goes to Fletch from
free to air TV station TVS 31 for his attendance and the airing of his
production of the interviews with various members and their cars during
the day on his program Classic Restos a week or so later. |
