Come see why car collectors and spectators alike consider it the best show in New England! Gorgeous, meticulously restored cars dating from the turn-of-the-century to the early 1970s cover nearly every inch of our beautiful 40-acre hilltop campus. The festive, family-friendly atmosphere and spectacular views of the fall foliage make this the perfect way to spend an autumn day. Children’s activities will again include some vintage toys like stilts and hoops. Our food menu, with healthy choices made right here in our own kitchen, receives rave reviews every year. Everyone loves the Kids Meal served in the classic car carrier. Dancers from Fred Astaire Dance Studios demonstrate the vintage dances from all the years of the antique automobiles on display. You may have an opportunity to get on the dance floor as well! Wayne Carini, star of Discovery Channel’s “Chasing Classic Cars” will be filming some the cars at our show and will also be on hand to sign autographs and answer your questions. This year’s show will celebrate our state’s prestigious past with a unique display of Connecticut-made vehicles. Plan to come and spend a great day at the Klingberg Antique Auto Show 2009.
