2022-08 Peak into the Past, Tocal Homestead
Peak into the Past is an open day at Tocal Homestead that celebrates our colonial history. The Ford Model A club invited MCMA members to attend and display veteran and vintage vehicles. Eight cars were displayed with all owners being MCMA members and two of those being Ford Model A club members as well. Thjere were three Fords, three Buicks, one Fiat and one Holden.
Ian's 1924 Buick Tourer and Barry's 1930 Ford Model A were the first to arrive and are seen here in the morning light.
Barry arrived very early and his passenger did not survive the wait. Barry's 1930 Ford Model A Town Sedan is a beauty.
Meagan and Steve with their 1930 Ford Model A Coupe, a very desirable model.
Di and Peter with their 1930 Ford Model A deluxe coupe, also a very desirable model.
Barry and Pauline with their lovely Ford Model A Town Sedan. Sadly the passenger was unable to join them for the photo. In the background Kevin is approaching suspiciously.

Daryl, Trace and John with their (Trace and John's) 1929 Buick Imperial Limousine, likewise a restoration that is a credit to Trace and John.
Kevin with his 1913 Fiat 52B, Jed and Vic. Kevin and Jed were there but avoided the camera. Vic was there is spirit. This photo was taken at a recent Eurofest Day at the Newcastle Foreshore.
I missed getting a photo of Edna at Tocal, but here is a photo of Kirralie and Bruce with Bruce's 1950 48/215 Holden at Maitland Heritage Festival in June. As in this photo, at Tocal, Bruce had this significant car parked in front of the historic homestead.
