Vintage cars line up on the Boardwalk during the Classic Car and Street Rod Show in 2024. .
Hundreds of classic cars and Corvettes will rev up the crowds on the Ocean City Boardwalk during two separate auto shows this weekend.
Cars and trucks from 1989 and earlier will be featured on Saturday at the Classic Car and Street Rod Show, also known as the Fall Cruisin’ the Boards Show.
Classic Fords, Chevys, Pontiacs and Mopars will take over the Boardwalk from noon to 5 p.m.
Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Classic Car and Street Rod Show is even older than many of the vintage cars and trucks that give it its old-school glamour.
