Classic Car Show set April 16

By Donnie A. Lucas

Another annual Albany Classic Car Show is gearing up for Saturday, April 16 in downtown Albany, with the public urged to come view dozens of vintage cars and trucks.

Organizer and car enthusiast Robert Snyder said he has had a good response so far of owners planning to attend.

“We realize it is Easter weekend, but a lot of the car owners actually like that because they feel more out-of-town visitors are here to come see the cars,” Snyder said. “We are expecting another good show if the weather cooperates.”

Registration for exhibitors is from 8:00 until 11:00 a.m. the day of the show. There is a $20 entry fee, with over 25 classes to enter. Specialty and individual awards will be handed out for both cars and trucks.

Entries will be lined up on South First Street between First National Bank and the Bank Park, along with an adjacent vacant lot to the west if needed.

The show is open to all classics, antiques, hot rods, customs, trucks, and more.

Judging is done by committee members, with the exception of the People’s Choice Awards for a car and truck.

The traditional Friday night in-town cruise night is expected to last from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., followed by the burn-out from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Snyder said that he had heard from several food vendors planning to set up at the Bank Park.
