“This show will be a once-in-a-lifetime, one-of-kind event that will feature many events including a classic car, truck and motorcycle show, a live band, concerts, dance performances, an American & Ukrainian Bazaar as well as admission to the Classic Auto Mall,” said Johnny Pappas, the show organizer.
The classic car show is open to any car, truck and motorcycle of any year, make and model. More than 300 cars, trucks and motorcycles are anticipated to compete for three Best of Show custom-made trophies, Top 40 trophies plus 20 specialty trophies.
“The Best Engine trophy is a real working engine I built complete with opening and closing intake and exhaust valves, rotating camshaft, pistons, fan and spark plugs that glow with LED lights in sequence,” said Pappas. “I guarantee this trophy will not be sitting on a shelf after it’s won. The winner and his kids or grandkids will be playing with the trophy for years to come!”
