Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, enthusiasts young and old — The Dan Emmett Music & Arts Festival cordially invites you to the 2011 Antique & Classic Car Show on Sunday, August 14th, sponsored by Donley Ford - Lincoln of Mount Vernon.  Antique and classic cars and trucks from around the country will be proudly displayed from Noon to 4:00 p.m., with the beauty of historic downtown Mount Vernon as the backdrop.  Each and every vehicle is truly a unique work of art.

The Show will be held around the Public Square, a portion of West High Street, Mulberry Street, Sandusky Street, and Vine Street from Gay to Mulberry Streets.  This configuration will allow for many more vehicles to be showcased this year.  The Classic Cars category is a juried event.

In addition to your traditional classic cars, antique cars returns for a second year as a special category for Pre-WWII original cars.  "Original" refers to any antique vehicle that remains as it was for their appropriate era, though standard updates are acceptable.  The Antique vehicles is not a juried event, but four trophies will be awarded in this special Pre-WWII category: a G.M. trophy, a Ford trophy, a Mopar trophy, and an "Other" trophy.

If engines and paint jobs weren't enough, there will also be a 50/50 raffle, and the first 100 registrants will receive a free event T-shirt and dash plaque.  The entry fee is only $10, and will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on the Square.
