THE Glenelg Vintage Machinery Club’s will be back once more to host its annual rally this weekend, with this year’s edition of the rally holding special significance, as the club will be celebrating 75 years since Chamberlain Tractors began production.

Chamberlain, which has since been bought out by the John Deere Company, began tractor production in 1949 at the behest of the West Australian government, with its first factory being set-up in an ex-munition’s facility.
