Welcome to the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club, Inc.

 

We're so glad you've found us! The Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club is a friendly, community-focused group made up of people who share a love for cars, trucks, motorcycles - and the stories, friendships, and adventures that come with them.

Our club is proudly multi-marque, meaning we celebrate every kind of vehicle and enthusiast. Whether you’re passionate about meticulously restored classics, vintage motorbikes, tough old trucks, or simply enjoy the charm of automotive history, you’ll find a welcoming home here. We’re a social club first and foremost - built on camaraderie, laughter, and shared experiences. Wherever possible, we also strive to give back to the community that supports us, participating in and contributing to local events and causes.

As you explore our website, you’ll quickly see that we’re a very active club with something happening almost every week of the year. Our calendar of events offers something for everyone - from relaxed "coffee and chat" mornings, scenic drives to interesting destinations and local businesses, to theatre nights, picnics, BBQs, and our St. Patrick’s Day party. The highlight of our year is the annual Motorfest display day, where members proudly showcase their vehicles and mingle with fellow enthusiasts and the wider community.

Members also receive a stunning 40-page, full-colour bi-monthly magazine. Each issue is packed with engaging stories, technical tips, club news, and advertisements for upcoming events and outings. It’s a great way to stay connected and relive the fun between gatherings. Previous editions are also available to members online, making it easy to browse through our history and memories.

We offer two main types of membership to suit your needs:

  • Full Membership - for individuals who own or regularly drive a classic car.

  • Family Membership - for two people from the same immediate family or household.

But don’t let that stop you if you don’t have a classic car yet! The club welcomes anyone with an interest in motoring, whether you’re restoring a project, dreaming of owning one someday, or simply enjoy being around people who share your enthusiasm. You’re more than welcome to come along, meet our members, and sample the wide range of motoring and social activities we offer.

Our monthly general meeting is held at 7:00 PM on the first Wednesday of every month, in the auditorium of the Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club. Visitors are warmly invited to attend - it’s a relaxed, friendly environment where you can meet members, ask questions, and get a feel for the club’s atmosphere. There’s no better way to see if we’re the right fit for you.

This website continues to grow and evolve as our club does, so be sure to visit often to stay up to date with news, events, and activities. Whether you’re a lifelong enthusiast or just starting your automotive journey, we invite you to join us, make new friends, and share in the joy of motoring - past, present, and future.

We look forward to meeting you soon - and welcoming you into our Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club family!
