Classic cars and vintage culture took centre stage at a special Father’s Day showcase at the C3 Centre, where enthusiasts gathered to celebrate and preserve Trinidad and Tobago’s automotive heritage.
The event, titled “Cars and Cuisine,” brought together members of the Trinidad and Tobago Car Club, featuring restored classics, antiques, replicas, and historic memorabilia spanning several decades.
Organiser Ronald Maharaj says the showcase is aimed at promoting awareness of automotive history while strengthening community engagement across the country.
“It’s a group of guys from across the country with a shared interest in older cars. We do community outreach to malls, schools and churches trying to bring awareness to what things were like back in the 40s, 50s and 60s and all the way up to now.”
The event also featured collaborations with the Bridge Mirage Auto and Heritage Museum and NAS Vintage, showcasing rare vehicles and historic collections.
Mr Maharaj says the group is trying to create a positive wave for young people to follow.
“We try to encourage younger members, younger women and men to get involved in the hobby. All you need to get is a project car and start working on it. The man thing is to ensure that your project car is legal for the road.”
The showcase continues to promote heritage preservation while encouraging younger generations to take part in restoring and maintaining classic vehicles across Trinidad and Tobago.
