History of The Old Crocks' Run

Following an event for the veteran cars and motorcycles in Victoria in 1931, Dr Cliff Downing thought it a possibility to have a similar event in Adelaide. The hunt for early vehicles began in 1932. By mid-1933 information about the quite a few cars had come in and a meeting was held on December 14th, 1933, to start organising an event. On January 16th, 1934, thirteen cars were in running condition and a committee elected to organise the formal side of the club. The Old Crocks’ Run was to be held on Anzac Day, but the State Branch of the RSSAILA objected, and the later date of May 5th was chosen.

The 18 pre-1914 cars and 10 motorcycles left the city and travelled to Glenelg via the Highway Inn for a water stop for the radiators. The vehicles paraded around the Glenelg Oval at the half time interval of the days football match. The vehicles were also enjoyed by thousands who lined the route.

The old car movement rapidly expanded and soon sporting events for other types of cars, both young and old were arranged. Today South Australia comprises many clubs looking after a variety of older and classic vehicles and has a reputation as the Classic Car Capital of Australia.
