Art of the Car

Our patrons even appreciate the artistic design of cars. The Art of the Car display has grown from a classic car show into a modern celebration of cars. The car show hosts an impressive 100 different classic, import and restored cars per day. For many, this has become a highlight of Father’s Day weekend.
