Graeme Smith at Italian Week 2011 Launch

Graeme Smith, President of The Fiat Car Club of Queensland speaking about the importance of FIAT as manufacturer during the 150 years of history of Italy and about the Italian culture in Australia.

The Fiat Car Club of Queensland had unofficial beginnings early in 1964. From a chance meeting of some Fiat owners prior to the Tasman Series race at Lakeside International Raceway, it was suggested by one of them that it would be a great idea to drive to Lakeside on the following Sunday in convoy.

The result was that approximately 20 assorted Fiats of the day and their occupants had their first outing together. Over the next couple of months suggestions of forming a club were brought forward and this eventually led to the inaugural meeting at the QMSC clubrooms on July 30, 1964.
