MILLBROOK, NY – Members of the Prospect Car Owners Association took a long Sunday cruise to the retro Mobil gas station here. Owner Rob Cooper welcomed them and opened up the inside of the station for a look-see.

With more than a dozen classic cars in attendance, the gas station’s parking lot took on the appearance of a car show. Joining the fun were a couple of motorcyclists who pulled in. RIDE-CT shot a bit of video and snapped some photos…

Here’s a short video:

The already once-postponed Stew Leonard's Car Show scheduled for Sunday (July 27) in Newington, CT as well as the Two Road Brewery Car Show in Stratford, CT and the Pine Rock Fire Company #4 Car and Truck Show in Shelton, CT have been postponed due to a rainy a rainy forecast. A new date for the Stew Leonard's show has not been announced but the Two Roads Brewery and Pine Rock shows will now be held on August 10. A reader also sent word that the Falcons Cruise in Middletown, CT is off but RIDE-CT hasn't been able to confirm this with the presenting organization.
