Smiles and Thumbs-Ups at the First Car Show Ever Held on the Long Island Motor Parkway


History was made last Sunday with the first car show ever held on the Motor Parkway.

The very successful show, sponsored by the Greater New York Region of the AACA, was held on the preserved Williston Park section of the Motor Parkway. With over 100 vintage automobiles participating, the event drew hundreds of spectators on a beautiful day. Smiles, thumbs-ups and highlights are below.

Enjoy,

Howard


Smiles and Thumb-Ups

The Alco Black Beast was a big hit with all generations.

The Black Beast roared every hour!

Posters on the Vanderbilt Cup Races, the Motor Parkway and the Alco Black Beast attracted a crowd.

A Motor Parkway fan brought his 1934 E-Z pass to the show. He was able to enter the show without paying a fee.

The three-foot concrete extensions on both sides of this section of the Motor Parkway are still in great shape.
