Netta Cooper, one of the event organizers, expressed, “They are a great cause and… they help children in need, kids from the NICU, so it’s a great medical organization that helps children who have special needs. And so, it’s just a great way to help our kiddos and the community.”
Participant Dwayne Gate also shared his sentiments, saying, “We love to give back to our community as much as we can. And so, we just want to show some of the cars that we have today and… to have people come back and kind of reflect on the past.”
A Showcase of Vintage Beauties
