Car Show Presents Wheels of Yesteryear in October 

The Rockville Antique and Classic Car Show, a city tradition for more than six decades, rolls into Rockville Civic Center Park on Saturday, Oct. 18. 

The show is planned for 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the picturesque park at 603 Edmonston Drive. Home to the historic Glenview Mansion, the hills of Rockville Civic Center Park offer a fall backdrop for collectors and enthusiasts to share memories as they stroll through vehicles from 33 car clubs, from Packard and Plymouth to Fiat and Ferrari. 

The free show – one of the oldest and the largest in the mid-Atlantic region – is open to the public and features a flea market for car-related items, a car sales area and live music by Karl Stoll and the Danger Zone. Food and drink will be available for purchase. 

While admission is free, there is a fee to display a vehicle. Participants must preregister. The early bird registration fee through Thursday, Sept. 11 is $15. Registration is $25 from Friday, Sept. 12 until 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, or when registration is full. There will be no registration on the day of the show. 

The early bird fee to sell car-related items in the flea market is $35 through Thursday, Sept. 11 and $45 thereafter. Car sale space is sold out.
