AKRON, Ohio – The 65th Father’s Day car show is set at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens.
The Ohio Region Classic Car Club of America’s Classic, Antique and Collector Car Show is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 18.
The show sold out last year.
On display will be 400 classic, antique and collector cars manufactured as early as 1915 and including:
• The Inner Circle in front of the Manor House will feature luxury “Full Classics” - cars manufactured between 1935 and 1939, including Lincolns, Cords and Packards.
• Air-cooled autos, vehicles whose engines were cooled with air instead of coolant, from 1904 to the 1960s.
• Antique motorcycles from 1985 and earlier.
• A display of antique boats is new this year.
Food will be available from Winking Lizard, River Dog (pizza waffles), Molly’s Café, Holcomb’s Nuts and Kona-Ice (shaved ice).
