Classic cars at Cheekwood

It is an “Exposition of Magnificence” — far more than 50 vintage vehicles from all over the globe will be on display screen at Cheekwood during Father’s Working day weekend.

“Practically nothing in my everyday living has brought more pleasure to people than old cars and trucks,” said traditional auto operator Allen Solid.

He was chatting about the joy of taking a excursion back in time, of invoking creativity and nostalgia.

He brought his attractiveness from Illinois.

“It can be a 1915 Packard 338 Distinctive Roadster. But it is really the only a single developed. There’s no other auto like it,” Solid explained.

Dozens of other special motor vehicles will be existing at Cheekwood more than the weekend — a seemingly ideal backdrop for a selection of cars and trucks from a bygone period.

You can find a little something for every person: luxury sedans, European roadsters, even micro-vehicles.

Jess Settle is another participant of the occasion, aiding a area close friend to display 3 of his Packards, including a ’36.

“It really is rolling artwork, is what it is,” Settle mentioned. “And to believe that folks just drove these all over each individual working day like we drive our cars and trucks right now — it is really very outstanding and fascinating all at the exact time.”

When the classics focused on many facts, passenger consolation was less of a precedence. Amenities like air conditioning have been not provided.

“It is that era. It really is currently being ready to stage again in time and believe ‘well what was it like to reside in a grand residence like this?'” reported Cheekwood’s Jane MacLeod.

MacLeod said the hope is that the celebration will turn into a Father’s Working day weekend tradition.

“It’s a terrific family members event you you should not just have to be a auto lover to enjoy this celebration,” MacLeod mentioned.
