SHELTON -  Shelton History Center’s annual Vintage Vehicles Antique & Classic Car Show will be held on Father’s Day, June 16, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The History Center is at 70 Ripton Road.

Visitors will be able to peek under the hoods of the cars they remember from nearly every decade of the 20th century. 

Two wheels or four, from Model Ts to muscle cars, there’s bound to be something that will trigger a memory from every visitor.  Sometimes a fire truck shows up; one entry was a penny farthing, or high-wheeled bicycle. 
All vehicle owners generously share information, their cars, and their hobby with the public.   

Owners of antique and classic vehicles of all kinds may register to participate.  

Entry forms may be found at www.sheltonhistoricalsociety.org, or by calling (203) 925-1803.  

RRegistration costs $15 with proceeds supporting the programs of the Shelton Historical Society. 

Visitors will enjoy refreshments and voting for their favorite vehicles. 

Admission is $1 for dads, $5 for adults, and $10 for a family of four.

A special exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Shelton Historical Society as well as the 100th anniversary of the official naming of the City of Shelton will be available for viewing in the Brownson House, Trap Fall School, and the Wilson Barn.  

The mission of the Shelton Historical Society is to “preserve elements of the community’s history in order to create connections between Shelton’s past, present, and future 

generations through education, maintaining a museum with its collections, and providing a voice in the community regarding matters of historical significance.”
