Dash plaques will be awarded to the first 400 entrants.
Trophies awarded by popular choice in 32 classes. Last year, over 420 show cars attended.  This year, we anticipate thousands of spectators, and there will be plenty of food, vendors, games, and displays.

The Valley Classic Wheels Car Club will debut a custom bike appropriately named “Iron Horse” created by artist/builder “Wild Bill” Eggers.  This is to help launch a new addition to the show, a Vintage Motorcycle Class (1973 and older). Eggers will also display his 4-cylinder Indian motorcycle with sidecar.

The Connecticut/ Westchester Section of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America returns for a second year, as they play host to that car club’s annual Mercedes-Benz mini “Section Event” within the main show.
DRC-FM will bring their “Rock N/ Roll Mobile.”  Double A Charter will have a 1953 vintage bus on display. You can walk through the GMC old look transit/coach and reminisce.

Kids: bring your “Hot Wheels” or “Matchbox” toys and race them for .25 cents, on a forty-foot track courtesy of Connecticut Valley Die-Cast Collectors.

See a Bio-Diesel display of home heating and vehicles converted to use leftover cooking oils.
