What a blast! From perfectly restored Model A's to absolutely cherry 50s road cars, from beefed up muscle cars to really, really fast Cobra and Ford GT replicas, to totally creative works of metal and machinery on two wheels, four wheels, six wheels or more, the Chariots of Fire Car, Truck & Motorcycle show is always something to behold: like this 1941 Willys Americar (left) that made small children cover their ears and run for cover when it started up.

The show is fun for all ages, and with the live music, free burgers, dogs, potato salad, watermelon and ice-cold water, it makes for a perfect day in small-town America.
