RIDE-CT – Classic Cars Celebrating Classic Cars in Connecticut
HAMDEN, CT – It’s one day each spring when Hamden becomes “Tuner Town.” The parking lot at M&T Bank Arena fills up with noisy models for the annual Quinnipiac Car Club Spring Car Show. It was another large turnout this morning for the seventh edition, with a few classic cars sneaking into the the mix.
RIDE-CT showed up and hung around for about 90 minutes, chatting with owners and searching for story leads. Best overheard comment was one student telling a friend, “My great-grandfather used to have one of these.”
The scenic hilltop setting and the enthusiasm of the participants make this show a favorite. Here’s a gallery of some of the models on display:
