2020 Autumn Harvest Collector Car Show - September 26, 2020
Car enthusiasts began arriving early for Chesapeake Region's annual Autumn Harvest Collector Car Show, held this year on Saturday, September 26th.
The weather was cloudy, but the nearby rain passed to the south of our Manchester, Maryland venue. Nevermind, drivers were anxious to get their vehicles out and about.
Fresh from extensive restoration work, Nick arrived in his beautiful 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible - top up for today.
By the official show start time of 10 am the show field was filling up.
Show participants continued to arrive and additional rows of vehicles began to fill up.
