He may be only 23 years old, but Nick Sieber is an old-fashioned guy. He's really into antique cars, and he owns several, including a 1930 Ford Model A, a 1928 Buick and a 1940 Buick.

Now he's inviting other people to share his passion for the vehicles. He's organizing the Stone Gables Prewar Car Show and Tour. The event will be held on Saturday, July 29, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Stone Gables Estate, 1 Hollinger Lane, Elizabethtown.

"There are so many car shows that focus on cars from the 1950s or 1960s," Sieber noted. "For folks who have pre-World War II or pre-World War I cars, there are not a lot of opportunities. I wanted to give people a chance to take their car out and enjoy it as it should be."

Unlike other car shows, Sieber's event is a tour, meaning participants will be able to drive their vehicles through the roads on the property's 275 acres, offering rides to attendees.

"People from the general public can come out for the day, ride the 1860s steam locomotive on the estate's private railroad, enjoy some lunch, tour the Star Barn and just enjoy the grounds," Sieber stated.

The car show and tour will highlight cars built in 1942 and earlier, and Sieber said he's been pleasantly surprised by the response he's gotten from participants. People are driving their antique cars from Maryland, New York and New Hampshire, among other places, and one of the cars dates to 1910.

This past year, Sieber drove his 1930 Model A to a car show in Michigan, where he networked with other car enthusiasts who are helping to spread the word about his Elizabethtown event.

Sieber noted that he's always been into old cars, starting when he was a young boy. "My maternal grandmother was born in 1923, and growing up, every Sunday after church, we'd go back to her house, enjoy dinner and sit and talk," he recalled. "She would always reminisce about stories of growing up in the 1920s and 1930s. Her brothers had these old jalopies - Model Ts and Model As - and she remembered riding in the rumble seat. She talked so fondly of her childhood, I fell in love with it."

At 16, Sieber bought his first car, a 1925 Ford Model T. "That started what you could say would be a slight obsession," he said with a laugh.

He invites anyone with an interest in antique cars to come out to the car show and tour, noting that it will be a unique event.

"The big draw for this is that it's a driving show," he stated. "You'll get to see and hear the cars running, and you might even be able to take a ride in one."
