CUSTOMLINE AND MAINLINE NATIONALS JUST WEEKS AWAY!

The countdown is on to the first-ever Ford Customline and Mainline Nationals, rolling into Leeton, NSW, from August 21–23, 2026.

Entries have now closed, with 138 vehicles registered, including more than 120 Customlines and Mainlines from across Australia. Catering for Australian and American-built models from 1952 to 1959, the Nationals will assemble an impressive collection of these much-loved early Fords.

“We’re thrilled with the response to Australia’s first national gathering for Customlines and Mainlines,” says organiser Darren Freer. “Entries may be closed, but there will still be plenty for spectators to see and enjoy throughout the weekend.”

Friday’s program includes registration, a visit to the Yanco Powerhouse Museum and a meet-and-greet at the historic Hydro Hotel. Saturday will feature local tours and cruising before a twilight Show & Shine among Leeton’s striking Art Deco buildings. The display is open to the public with free admission.

On Sunday morning, spectators can enjoy another memorable display when the Nationals join a vintage aircraft gathering at Brobenah Air Strip.

Cruzin Magazine is proudly sponsoring the Sponsor’s Choice Award, with our favourite vehicle receiving a special trophy at Sunday night’s presentation dinner.
