SHELTON - Enjoy a day with Dad and Granddad peeking under the hoods of the cars they
remember from their youth at the Shelton Historical Society’s annual Vintage Vehicles Antique and Classic Car Show on Father's Day this Sunday.
Two wheels or four, from Model Ts to muscle cars, there’s bound to be something that
will trigger a memory from every visitor. This show will be held at Shelton History Center, 70 Ripton Road, from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m.
Past shows have featured everything from a 1928 Rolls Royce Phantom, to a restored
rickshaw that was used as an ambulance in the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, to a
1911 wood paneled Model T. Nearly every decade of automotive history from the 20th
century has been illustrated on the shaded grounds of the Shelton History Center with
more recent muscle cars, Mustangs, and Army Jeeps joining many Ford Model As and Ts.
All vehicle owners generously share information, their cars, and their hobby with the public with pride.
Awards in five categories will be presented to crowd favorites.
Visitors will enjoy tours of the buildings at Shelton History Center, refreshments, and
voting for their favorite vehicles. Admission is $1 for dads, $5/adults and $10/family.
Proceeds will benefit the educational programs of the Shelton Historical Society, whose
mission 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.”
