The Chester County Antique Car Club will present its 42nd annual car show at a new location this year - the Classic Auto Mall, 6180 Morgantown Road, Morgantown. The outdoor event, previously held at the Kimberton Fire Company Fairgrounds, will take place on Saturday, May 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a rain date of Saturday, June 4.

In addition to the display of antique and classic cars, street rods, trucks and motorcycles, the event will feature a flea market, food vendors and a car corral offering vehicles for sale. A DJ will provide music throughout the day.

"We are expecting 300 cars," said Russ Swallow, past club president. "Besides our show, it also give spectators the opportunity to go through the mall, where there are a lot of cars on display and for sale."

Same-day registration for vehicle owners will take place through noon on the day of the show. "It's a non-judging event. We don't award trophies," noted Swallow. However, there will be a prize drawing for show participants that will take place on the hour starting at 11 a.m. Cash drawings will begin at 2 p.m.

The flea market will be open all day. "It will be a general flea market, not just for car things, but for anything," Swallow noted.

This is the club's largest event each year, which gives members an opportunity to display their vehicles and to visit with other car enthusiasts. "We have about 104 active members," said Swallow, noting that club members do not have to be residents of Chester County to join. "Our members mainly come from Chester County, but we have people from Delaware County and Berks County."

The club meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at VFW Post 106, 837 Lincoln Ave., West Chester. Club members also take part in field trips and show their vehicles in various parades throughout the year. "We recently visited a '50s-style diner in Delaware called Goober's Diner," said Swallow. "We are a pretty active club."

The club membership includes people of all ages. Swallow noted that members own a variety of makes and models of cars, including muscle cars; Brass Era cars, which are very early models; and classics like the Pierce-Arrow. "These (makes and models) will be represented at our show. We even get hot rods," Swallow said. "Anything is more than welcome in the club."

Swallow hopes that moving the event to Morgantown will attract even more members. "By moving our show, we (may) lose some people," he said, adding, "Hopefully, we will gain some new members from Lancaster and Berks counties."
