Gallery: Naugatuck Classic Cars & Summer Stars Car Show – August 9, 2026

NAUGATUCK, CT – The inaugural Classic Cars & Summer Stars Car Show had a hot launch on Saturday, which may have held down attendance to the downtown event. But nonetheless there were some showy models that were eye pleasers. RIDE-CT liked the easily accessible location and the fact that it appeared to be well organized for a first-time happening.

It was perhaps just happenstance, but being able to grab photos of some brands and models that were grouped together was a noticeable “get” as were shots that took advantage of the backdrops that surrounded Old Firehouse Road where the show was staged.

Here are some snaps from the show…
