It’s hard to believe that 4th of July weekend has already come to a close here in CNY. BBQs, fireworks and car shows were very much welcomed after a long and rainy week. After spending time with friends and family we stopped by the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute Campus for their Antique and Classic Car Show presented by the Mohawk Motorcades Automobile Club. Automotive events held at Fountain Elms typically feature pre-war vehicles or a specific marque. This years featured marque was the Chevrolet Corvette. In addition to the vast array of Corvettes, trophies were awarded in the following categories:
47 Trophies (first, second and third)
will be awarded in the following classes:
Class 1 Production through 1931
Class 2 Production 1932 – 1944

• AAA New York Trophy-Best of Show
• Motorcycle Best of Show
If you live anywhere near the Utica area, this is not a show to be missed. We strongly recommend following Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute to keep up with future events. This event is much more than just a car show. Local food vendors, live music and the sidewalk art show make this something enjoyable for the entire family.
