Past shows
have featured everything from a 1928 Rolls Royce Phantom, to a restored
rickshaw that was used as an ambulance in the San Francisco
earthquake in 1906, to a 1911
wood-paneled Model T.
Nearly every decade of automotive history from the 20th century has been illustrated on the shaded grounds of the Shelton History Center with more recent muscle cars, Mustangs, and Army Jeeps joining many Ford Model As and Ts.
All vehicle owners generously share information, their cars, and their hobby with the public.
