New Bern was host this weekend to an Antique Auto Club of America's car show, where over 400 entries arrived as far north as Maine, south to Florida, as well as the mid-West.
Crowds filled several streets in the downtown Historic District, where beautifully restored vehicles were on display -- including model T and model A Fords, Chevrolet's as old as 1920, Packards, DeSoto's, Lincolns, Cadillacs, Studebaker and other antique cars through the 1970 models.
5-member teams of judges, reviewed the condition of the vehicles for interior, exterior, engine and chassie. Points were awarded for the best in their categories which were First Junior, Senior, Preservation class, as well as a driving category.
My husband, Lee, is a member of the First Capital Chapter of the AACA here in New Bern, and entered his 1956 Studebaker Power Hawk. He's an antique car enthusiast and also owns a 1949 Hudson Commadore (which is in the shop right now!)
New Bern will host the AACA Grand National in 2010, the same year as New Bern's Tri-Cennnial.
