See Central Florida’s Classic and Antique Cars

The Cruz ‘N Car Show takes place quarterly and is a tradition for many Central Florida residents and visitors. The final show of 2019 takes place on September 21 from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Plant Street. There is no fee to attend and you can park for free in the city’s parking garage on S. Boyd St.

Nearly 400 classic cars of all makes and models will be on display for you to admire. The cars at the show vary depending on what each collector brings, so you can expect to see something new every time you visit. Collectors are often onsite and ready to share history and insight about the vehicle as well as allow you to see the interiors and engines, and even snap a photo.

This year’s shows have seen a record number of participating vehicles, prompting the city to issue new rules to maximize space. Here’s where you’ll find the cars at the September show:

• All cars made in 1987 or prior will be on Plant St.
• Newer muscle cars will be by the Pavilion
• Show-quality vehicles will be given priority and will be parked at the front
