HARLINGEN — The car show is a thing of the past.
Which is why they remain so very popular.
The 9th Annual Jackson Street Classic Car Show in historic downtown Harlingen will be held Saturday, and as always, those attending will ride memories of steel and chrome on a trip back in time.
The show is sponsored by the Antique Automobile Club of America-Rio Grande Valley Chapter along with the Downtown Harlingen Committee.
Whatever kind of car piques your imagination, or jogs your memory, the show will probably be displaying them.
They come in all shapes, sizes, models and classes, including classic, modified, antique, muscle, import, exotic, low rider, street rod and rat rod, among others.
“I personally have a 1926 Ford Model T original and also a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air,” Moses Mendoza, president of the RGV antique car club, said yesterday.
Mendoza said his only problem is that he’s the only one in his family who can drive the old Tin Lizzie, so he says it’s up to his daughter to drive the Bel Air to the show.
