Based on your age, it could have been a Model T, a Packard or LaSalle, pre-war Mercury, a 50s hot rod, a Tri-Five Chevy, a 1st generation Mustang, a Midyear Corvette, a GTO, a 442, a Buick Grand National or even something a bit newer. The American love for cars continues to this day. Maybe one just like the one you drove will be included in this year’s Morgan Hill Freedom Fest Car Cruise ‘n Show on the 4th of July
Come early and watch the Car Cruise kick off the parade then come over to the Community and Cultural Center parking lot to review the cars up close at the Car Show. Hopefully these cars will bring back memories of your 16th Birthday dream car.
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.
