The 26th edition of the Hawkesbury Car Show took place the weekend of August, and it was a sight to behold for all car enthusiasts and lovers of vintage automobiles. The event, which has become a beloved tradition in the community, transformed the main street of Hawkesbury into a vibrant showcase of classic cars from different eras. As I strolled down the street, classic cars adorned both the left and right sides, each a timeless symbol that has significantly impacted automotive history.

The antique cars on display were true marvels, each one meticulously maintained and sparkling in the sunlight like precious gemstones. From vehicles dating back to the early 1900s to cars from the glamorous 1940s and beyond, the show offered a journey through time for attendees, evoking a sense of nostalgia and appreciation.

The dedication of the car owners was admirable. They work tirelessly to keep their vehicles in mint condition despite the challenges of Canada’s harsh winters. The passion and care that go into preserving these collectible cars were evident in every detail, from the flawless paint jobs to the sparkling chrome accents that adorned each vehicle.

Organized by the Club d’autos Hawkesbury Auto Club, the 26th Hawkesbury Auto Expo was not just a celebration of classic cars, but a significant fundraiser for the Hawkesbury Central Food Bank. The impact of this event on the community, both in terms of the funds raised and the sense of togetherness it encouraged, cannot be overstated.
