Annual Classic Car Show Revs Up Park Street
October 8, 2011
The 18th Annual Park Street Classic Car Show takes place this year on Saturday, October 8. More than 400 classic vehicles will be on display in Alameda’s historic downtown district. Classic cars of every description will line Park Street between Encinal Ave and Buena Vista Ave -- Vintage Show Cars, Roadsters, Coupes, Hot Rods, Antique Muscle Cars, and more. Most of the cars come from those magical decades -- the '50s and the '60s. But there will also be plenty of classics from the '20s, '30s, and '40s along with muscle cars from the '70s.
The free event runs from 10:00am to 4:00pm and is fun for the whole family. Entertainment and prizes will be available and DJs will be spinning oldies from the '50s and the '60s.
In addition to the cars and entertainment, many of the businesses in the Park Street Business District will be open. Visitors to the show are encouraged to “Shop Park Street” and peruse the unique collections of our fine stores and enjoy the tasty fare of our fabulous restaurants. New this year… the Alameda Marketplace will be hosting an assortment of food booths, music, and fun in their nearby parking lot.
The Park Street Classic Car Show is hosted by the Crankers Car Club and is sponsored in part by Lee Auto Supply. We thank them for their dedication to the show. Without their help, this annual event would never get off the ground. Last year, a national representative of the Mustang Club of America declared Park Street’s Classic Car Show to be “the best that he has ever seen.”
Coinciding with the Park Street Classic Car Show, Alameda Bicycle is hosting a Classic Bike Show. Show off your low rider cruiser, vintage road bike, or any other bike you deem a classic. RSVP to Brian, islandschwinn@gmail.com to submit a bike or to ask any questions. First prize will be a $200 gift card to Alameda Bicycle!
So come on down to Park Street to enjoy the Classic Car Show plus a whole lot more… get in some shopping at stores you won’t find in any mall, eat your way through our 50+ restaurants, check out the display of classic bicycles, and catch a movie while you’re at it. Free secure bike valet will be provided by Bike Alameda.
