Pre-49 Nationals 2026 – Christchurch
This Easter, Christchurch hosts one of the country’s most iconic hot-rod gatherings. The Pre-49 Nationals brings together beautifully restored pre-1949 American classics for a weekend of cruising, show time and good company. From the welcome meet-up to the Show Day at Te Pae and scenic drives, it’s the perfect celebration of early hot-rod culture, craftsmanship and community.
