3rd Annual Oldies Car Show draws over 500 people

(All photos provided) Over 500 people turned out to see 40 collector cars that were displayed in front of Minnehaha Senior Living and Providence Place Care Center on June 29. All ages were represented from a 105-year-old to toddlers who joined in the fun of seeing the cars, eating hot dogs, drinking root beer floats, and hearing entertainment from “Hairspray” the musical.

Two street blocks and the parking lot were used to show off classic cars during the third annual “Rollin’ to the Oldies Classic Car Show.” The Inter-City Streeters sponsored the event competing for prizes and awards. Residents, families, and all attendees had a chance to vote on their favorite car. This year’s winner was the 1963 Red Chevy Convertible Impala.

Children played on classic toy cars from the 1950s. The crowd was entertained by Stage and Spotlights Community Theatre Company singers from the cast of “Hairspray” who sang and danced.

Classic cars shown included a ’58 Chevy, ‘63 Cadillac, three Thunder Birds from the 1950’s and 1960’s, a ‘63 Cadillac Deville, and over thirty other classic cars.
