Sunday 19th April 2026
Perth Classic Car Show
Western Australia’s Biggest Celebration of Motoring.

Together, Cars and Culture and the Shannons Perth Classic Car Show form the Stirling Festival of Motoring – a celebration of cars, culture, history and community, delivering entertainment and nostalgia for the whole family.

A Pop-Up Museum Experience

Cars and Culture, proudly sponsored by MTA WA (Motor Trades Association WA) is a free, immersive pop-up museum that brings the City of Stirling’s rich local history to life alongside the vehicles that defined each decade. This experience invites visitors to explore how cars, community and lifestyle have evolved together over the decades, conveyed through three themed displays that will take you on a journey through Stirling’s past and present:

Inspired by Scarborough Beach and its iconic coastal lifestyle, this display celebrates beach culture and classic seaside vehicles. Expect panel vans, vintage FJs, Mini Mokes and beach buggies that capture the spirit of sun, surf and summer.

A nod to the area’s agricultural roots and European heritage, this display showcases hardworking vehicles paired with continental flair. Featuring classic utes, trucks and Italian motoring icons, it reflects a time when function met style.

Inspired by Osborne Park’s legendary car dealership strip along Scarborough Beach Road, this display pays tribute to suburban car culture, spotlighting favourites such as Valiants, Monaros and Minis.

Throughout the day there are scheduled car club rotations, with different clubs and enthusiast groups stepping into the spotlight at set times. Each rotation brings a new flavour of motoring culture keeping the displays dynamic, surprising and ever-changing from start to finish.

  • REXPO: 12pm – 3pm
  • JCSWA: 12pm – 4pm
  • Northern Steel: 4pm – 8pm

After exploring the displays, settle in and enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with food trucks, licensed bars, live music, market alley and roving entertainment.

Open from 11am to 8pm, Cars and Culture offers something for everyone – an immersive, nostalgic journey designed to be enjoyed by all ages.

No ticket or RSVP is required for Cars and Culture. This free event is proudly sponsored by MTA WA (Motor Trades Association WA) and the City of Stirling.
