Hundreds of cars rolled into Riverside Park recently to take part in the 43rd annual Antique Auto Show hosted by the Indian River Region Antique Automobile Club. The one-day show, publicized as being the “oldest and largest” antique car show, featured antique, classic, prestige, foreign, special interest, commercial and modified vehicles, and were judged in 15 classes for cars built before 1997.

As they wandered about the beauties, the sight of old favorites brought fond memories to mind for many of the attendees. It was easy to spend the entire day checking out the cars, perusing the auto-centric flea market or enjoying the food choices and music. The event was free, but attendees were asked to bring non-perishable food items for the U.S. Post Office Stamp Out Hunger food drive, held annually on the second Saturday of May.
