AMERICAN DAY 2012
Welcome to the Pretoria Old Motor Club
The Pretoria Old Motor Club (POMC) was started in 1966 by a few old car enthusiasts who felt a need to share information, skills and parts. Today the POMC boasts with almost 300 active members who collectively hold more than 1500 cars and motorcycles.

The passion for old vehicles…
The motor car is most probably one of the greatest inventions that saw the light of day. Very primitive in the technological context of today, but leaps and bounds forward the first day the various permutations hit the road.
The Oldies Become the Pride-and-Joy
Many of these are the collector items of today. Some have survived the melting pots of the recyclers, some were tucked away in a save place, same came down the family as an inheritance, many are found in an appalling state of decay
Vehicle Classification
Old vehicles are strictly classified in terms of year of production. An enthusiast will normally decide where he wants play and mainly stick to that field (year, model, make etc). There are exceptions however, depending on the size of the wallet.

The Movement and the Future
There is a definite place for the young, technology driven generation, to get involved in the movement. As a general rule of thumb one can state that a car ten years older that your date of birth probably qualifies as “collectable” for the new and young collector. These are also more affordable than the really old and rare ones out there.

The FutureWelcome to the Pretoria Old Motor Club Website
The Pretoria Old Motor Club (POMC) was started in 1966 by a few old car enthusiasts who felt a need to share information, skills and parts. Today the POMC boasts with almost 300 active members who collectively hold more than 1500 cars and motorcycles.
Members of the POMC are from all walks of life and bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience in many different fields. They have a single commonality, preservation of our motoring heritage. It brings them together and it keeps them together.
The POMC also runs an active calendar covering monthly meetings at the Club House, social gatherings, formal rallies of oldies and numerous social runs.
The get togethers and displays are very important components of the Club’s success. The most notable display is the annual Cars in the Park staged on the first Sunday in August every year. This is the single biggest get together of like minded enthusiasts in South Africa. Hundreds of old vehicles from all over Gauteng and other parts of the country are exhibited by POMC members and other Clubs under their own banners.
“… motoring is always so fresh, so surprising, and so young-in-manner as pastime that quite old as well as the quite young are carried away by its radiant delights, and constantly the middle-aged say, as it were, to themselves, “This is a splendid pastime, what did we do in the old days without it?” The Autocar, December 28, 1923.

Club members meet socially on the first Wednesday of every month. The Wednesday evening program always includes something interesting, eg. talks, demonstrations and advice on restoration etc. There is always an interesting car or motorcycle in the clubhouse.
The motor car is most probably one of the greatest inventions that saw the light of day. Very primitive in the technological context of today, but leaps and bounds forward the first day the various permutations hit the road.
AMERICAN DAY 2012

Old vehicles are strictly classified in terms of year of production. An enthusiast will normally decide where he wants play and mainly stick to that field (year, model, make etc). There are exceptions however, depending on the size of the wallet.
And it is not only cars; it is also motorcycles, trucks, busses and tractors that form part of the movement.
The very basic differentiation is; vehicles produced before and after World War II...More Detail
What do we do with our vehicles?
We drive around on a Sunday, bring them to our friends for a drool, show them at the Club, and show them at exhibitions to the general public. Not much different from the artist that shows his/ her art to the interested.
