This is always a packed favorite for a large crowd. Unfortunately it was rained out last year. Let’s hope it’s back in full glory. From the City:

The grounds of Glenview Mansion are transformed when more than 400 antique and classic automobiles go on display. Twenty-four car clubs, from Packard to Ferrari, are represented during this grand event, while auto collectors and enthusiasts share the fond memories of the classic cars of yesteryear.

The goals of the Rockville Antique & Classic Car Show Committee are to exhibit motor vehicles of the highest standard of preservation and restoration and to continue to be recognized as the premier non-judged motor vehicle show in the region.

New at this year’s Car Show:
The Rockville Cemetery Association invites Car Show attendees to check out the antique hearses on display and to tour Rockville’s oldest cemetery to visit final resting places of American war veterans, Rockville movers and shakers, baseball’s best pitcher, and other notable Montgomery Countians. Stop by to meet 19th century physician Dr. Edward E. Stonestreet, who enjoys talking about his medical practice in Rockville, transportation in his day, and his family buried at Rockville Cemetery.”

Rain date: Saturday, October 23. Call 240-314-5022 for inclement weather updates.

Additional Parking will be available at Meadow Hall Elementary School.

During the past three years, I’ve often highlighted events in and around Rockville. For a year and a half I researched and wrote the Weekend to Weekend listing of all the happenings in Rockville before we asked Helen Triolo at Rockville Living to automate the process and encouraged everyone to post event announcements on her wonderful calendar. For a while I picked the best of the week to highlight here on Rockville Central. Now I’m back at it again with the W2W Pick.
