Residents, visitors and car enthusiasts alike filled Del Prado Avenue on Sunday, Aug. 27, for the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce’s annual Classic Car Show.
More than 300 cars were on display, including a vintage fire truck and a Rolls Royce that was once owned by Muhammad Ali.
This year, 22 awards were up for grabs. Chamber of Commerce President Vickie McMurchie previously explained that the head judge caters the award list to the types of vehicles registered for the show so that the winners well represent the demographic of cars displayed.
Richard Law’s 1929 LaSalle Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton won Best in Show and will be featured on next year’s event T-shirts.
Proceeds from the event go back to the Chamber of Commerce’s mission of supporting local small businesses and nonprofits.
