Do you love old cars? Does the sight of a classic Corvette or a car with tail fins make you smile? Then be prepared to do a lot of smiling on Sunday, June 27 because that’s the date of the seventh annual Elm Bank Antique Auto Show. Elm Bank is located in Dover; its entrance is on Route 16 on the Wellesley/South Natick town line, a mile south of Wellesley College.

Scheduled to run from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., the show features hundreds of classic cars, from hot rods and pace cars to lovingly restored autos from the fifties and sixties, when cars were more than just something to get you from point A to point B. There are competitions for ‘best of show’ in multiple categories.

Visitors will have the opportunity to talk with owners, look under the hood, and maybe even sit behind of their favorite vintage cars.

The day will be filled with more than just automobiles. There will be live music (oldies, naturally), food and drink, and a swap meet area where you can browse for memorabilia. In an era when all cars seem to look more and more alike, it’s an opportunity to renew your love affair with the automobile – or to introduce a new generation to the thrill of a GTO, a Triumph, or an original Mustang.

While you’re at the show, you’ll have the opportunity to wander Elm Bank’s spectacular gardens, which are in their prime at the end of June. Elm Bank’s 36 acres encompass both formal and informal gardens created by and under the care of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

General Admission: $5. MHS members: $3, Children under 12 FREE.
