What car did you drive (or ride in) on your first trip to one of
The American love for cars started back with the Ford Model T and continues to this day.
Pack up the car and head out to see the sights, visit relatives or just go for a Sunday drive. What was your family car? Just maybe one like it will be included in this year’s Cruise ‘n Show in Morgan Hill on the 4th of July. Come early and watch the Car Cruise, the parade, and then come over to the Community Center parking lot to review the cars close up at the Car Show.
Hopefully these cars will bring back memories of one of your “America’s National Parks” trips.
Get to your place on the parade route early for the Cruise and then come to the CCC to view the cars and help celebrate the 4th of July with the car owners.
The Parade is in need of a few convertibles to host Dignitaries
If you are interested, please contact the Parade Chair at (408) 779-1776. If selected, your Car Cruise ‘n Show fee will be refunded day of show. You will be in the parade, not the Cruise, and still be in the Show.
