The rides of our lives

National Motor Museum

Sunday 11 APRIL 2021

NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM

BIRDWOOD, ADELAIDE HILLS

10am – 5pm

VEHICLE ENTRANCE 9am | GENERAL PUBLIC 10am

We will be taking a break and not running the event in 2020. The National Motor Museum will be delivering the 40th anniversary of the Bay to Birdwood in 2020 and this will require our full attention and all our resources. However, we will be pleased to be welcoming back our long-time Rock & Roll Rendezvous major sponsor, Eastside Automotive, for what will be the event’s 30th anniversary in 2021. So, please bookmark Sunday 11 April in your dance cards and your diaries and, as the crooner Dean Martin once sang, ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’, and we will be back for what will be an extra special event in April 2021.

 

For photos of the 2019 event please click here to go to our facebook page.

Rock & Roll Rendezvous is a full day event of music, dance, fashion and chrome-plated classics held at the much-loved National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia. With hundreds of classic and muscle cars and bikes on display, plus fashion parades on stage, dance demonstrations and live music, the event is a true celebration of the Rock n’ Roll era.

Since 2007 the Rock & Roll Rendezvous has proudly supported Down Syndrome South Australia.

Please note – for risk management purposes we are a no animals event.

What’s happening on @NATIONALMOTORMUSEUM

  • Please note a change of opening hours at the Museum this weekend due to the Bay to Birdwood. We will NOT be opening until 2 pm on Sunday 27 September.
  • Did you know today is #internationaldogday ? Dogs are some of the absolute best road trip companions - this photo from the @nationallibraryaus shows Clive Birtles, the younger brother of legendary Australian motoring and cycling pioneer Francis Birtles, with his dog Wowser lookin' extra cool. Their 1912 5-month trip in a Ford Tourer from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria had two doggos - Francis was accompanied by his own best pal Dinkum.
  • A small glimpse of Spring has sprung at the National Motor Museum today. Here's our Mill Building fabulously highlighted by our Manchurian Pear trees in bloom.
  • A little flashback today... in the 80s the Museum's collection was featured in collectable cards you could find in @weetbixau packets! Someone recently donated this complete album to us. Do you remember these?
  • Service with a smile! Museum Officer @kylie_macey polishes up the @fordaustralia #Falcon #Squire after an outing with owner Patrick to #carsandcoffee #Barossa this morning. Have you had your #classic out this weekend? #nationalmotormuseum #NMM #Ford #Falcon #FalconSquire
  • Planning a road trip this weekend? These little Spotto cards might come in handy! Of course, they're from the 1950s or early 60s, so you may struggle finding some of the items (good luck spotting an oil basket or a milk bar!) They were kindly donated to our George Brooks Library by Bill Cumpston. Do you remember any other great car games? #visitadelaidehills #spotto #roadtrip #1950s
