Thousands visit car show

Bright sunshine reflected off the shiny paint jobs and chrome of the scores of cars entered in the June 14 Exotic Sports Car Show and Concours d’ Elegance at Arapahoe Community College.

This is the 26th year for the event that began when two car enthusiasts organized a car show that raised about $1,200 for charity. The event features more than 350 cars on display, hosting about 10,000 visitors, and the event has helped raise more than $800,000 for United Cerebral Palsy Colorado.

On June 14, cars of every size, shape, vintage, color and description were spread over the grassy area so hundreds of visitors could move through and admire them.

There were lineups of cars of a specific make such as a half-dozen shiny, low-slung Lamborghinis, while nearby there was a double line of Jaguars ranging from the early models to this year’s version.

John Tammell is a self-professed car lover and said he likes this show because of the variety and quality of the cars on display.

“Many shows are limited to luxury cars or muscle cars,” he said as he looked over a collection of Studebakers. “But here you can see a little of everything.”

Some makes had numerous examples of their automobiles while there were others that had a single entry, such as the eye-catching 1924 Packard Dual Cowl Sports Phaeton showing off its 12-cylinder engine, while a few rows over, a 1932 roadster hot rod was proudly displayed next to a vintage 1967 Mustang.
