Classic cars, driven by owners dressed in vintage clothes, filled the street. There was some rain but that did not stop the owners of the classic cars to gather and celebrate the Cobe Cup anniversary. Rock, proud owner of 1929 Ford Model A Roadster, talked about his love for Cobe Cup and old cars, "I really just like old cars and the history of this event in particular."
This year's celebrations were open to classic cars, bikes and truck built before 1984. Classic cars passed the original route of the race: starting at Crown Point, reaching Chamber of Commerce and finally arriving at Lowell. The classic car owners were excited to be a part of the event; Ken Reed, driving 1963 Rambler Classic said, "It's fun to drive that old route and relive a part of history."

An antique cars show in Connecticut will focus on classic Cadillac cars this year. The 8th annual Model Ts to Mustangs outdoor classic car display will be held at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center on May 7, and a special section of the show will highlight the storied American Cadillac brand, whose origins date back to 1902.

This General Motor's brand was designed to blend engineering with luxury, and it is currently the second oldest American brand behind Buick. Cadillac's most famous advertising slogan was "Standard to the World".

Awards will be presented in several categories at the show, including the popular "People's Choice Award".
