Car Cruise ‘ n Show
America MY HOME SWEET HOME
Monday , July 4
Registration at Commmunity Center 7:30 am Car Cruise 9:30 am Car Show After Parade
What car sat in the driveway of your family “ Home Sweet Home ”? The American love for cars started back with the Ford Model T and continues to this day . Pack up the car and head out to see the sights , visit relatives or just go for a Sunday drive . What was your family car ? Just maybe one like it will be included in this year ’ s Cruise ‘ n Show in Morgan Hill on the 4 th of July . Come to the parade early and watch the Cruise then come over to the Community Center parking lot to review the cars close up . Hopefully these cars will bring back memories of your “ Home Sweet Home ”.
Starting at 9:30 pm , just before the official 4th of July Parade begins , 100 plus classic , hot rod , muscle and original pre- 1986 cars will “ cruise ” the parade route for your enjoyment . These cars are owned and driven by local people …. maybe your neighbor ! Watch for the different marquees from every era that are no longer in production . Packard , Studebaker , DeTamasso , MG , Plymouth , Edsel , Auburn , and Sunbeam are just a few to watch for .
Again this year , the cars will stop at the Centennial Community Center parking lot for the Car Show . So after viewing the parade come over and walk alongside the wide variety of cars on display . The cars will remain at this location until at least 2:30 pm so you can stop by and talk to the owners and admire their cars . Members of the host club , Valle Del Sur , Antique Automobile Club of America , will be present to answer questions about any classic cars .
Between 1 pm and 2 pm the sponsors of the Cruise ‘ n Show will be making their choice of the cars they want to give an Award of Excellence . The awards will be presented at 2:30 pm with a Best of Show awarded by the votes of the sponsors .
If you have a pre-1986 car or truck that you would like to enter in this event you can download an entry form atmhfreedomfest . com in the Cruise ‘ n Show section . Early registration is recommended as we are limited to 125 cars and will sell out . We may not have space on the day of the event . All entrants will receive two Beach Hut Deli sandwiches and two Patti ’ s Perfect Pantry cookies .
So , get to your place on the parade route early to view the cars and help celebrate the 4 th of July with the car owners .
“ You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4 , not with a parade of guns , tanks and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle , but with family picnics where kids play , the potato salad gets iffy , and the flies die from happiness . You may think you have overeaten , but it ’ s patriotism .”
