If you love beautiful cars and connecting with like-minded car enthusiasts, Niagara Motors’ fourth annual car show on July 26 is the place to be.

Dozens of classic, exotic and sport vehicles are expected to show up on the lot at 1537 Niagara Stone Rd. in Virgil next Saturday for people to come and enjoy, with no entry fee for participants or spectators.

Alongside these hot rods, there’ll be plenty of entertainment, from a bouncy house, a caricature artist, barbecue and drinks, and a raffle, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Like last year, all the proceeds are going to Red Roof Retreat, a local organization that provides recreational services to children and young adults with special needs.

The show’s lead organizer, Matt Habinski, says while around 38 people have officially registered to take part in the show, based on last year’s situation, where dozens rolled up to the lot in their rides without registration, he expects up to 100 vehicles could be there.

“We’re more than happy to accommodate them and give them a spot — assuming that we do have space,” he said.

Last July’s show featured Model Ts, Thunderbirds, Firebirds, Mustangs and more, custom and factory, dating as far back as the ’20s, and plenty of beloved classics from the ’50s and ’60s.

Habinski says he’s excited to see and learn about new types of vehicles — but, like any car enthusiast, he has his favourite.

“I’m definitely biased toward Corvettes. I’m always happy to see Corvettes when they show up,” he said.
