Established in 2004 by the All Makes Swap Meet Pty Ltd, the first Shannons Aussie Car Shows were held at Sandown Racecourse. It soon became clear that due to the great interest in the event a larger venue with better access was required. In 2006 the show was held for the first time at Flemington racecourse Nursery car park and it has continued at this venue since. The show is now a fixture on the Victorian motoring enthusiasts calendar and in 2010 the date will be brought forward to ensure that there is a better chance of good weather for the event. The event is entirely run by volunteers and all proceeds are returned to the motoring movement.
