CLAYTON — A total of 84 vehicles were on display Saturday in Hardscrabble Park located in the Historic Village section of Clayton during the Randolph Township Historical Society’s third annual Summer Cruise Fest car show. The show was held from 3 until 9 p.m.
The first two RTHS car shows were held at the History Center on Valleyview Drive in Englewood with limited display space. Hardscrabble Park provided ample room for more vehicles and proved to be a perfect setting with playground equipment available for kids to use once they lost interest in the show.
Vehicles ranged from late model Corvettes to a 1926 Model T Ford. Low humidity made the heat tolerable for car show participants and those admiring the super clean vehicles on display.
Plenty of trees provided shade for many of the car show entries.
