AMBOY - The area’s biggest and best car show returns this year bigger and better than ever. The Amboy Depot Days Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show will take place on Sunday, Aug. 27 (rain or shine) during Depot Days in Amboy. As in years past, the judged show will include an array of cars, trucks and motorcycles on display throughout the downtown area.
The Amboy Depot Days Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show was started in 1991 by a group of friends who not only had an interest in antique and classic vehicles but also desired a way to showcase their community. Since that time, the show has grown not only in the number of vehicles on display but also in the quality of vehicles, which has continued getting better each year.
All but six of the original 36-member car show group is still together with the addition of many new volunteers who have joined them over the years. The committee, led by chairman Garth Dallam, meets about 14 times a year to make things run smoothly.
“Last year, we had 533 cars register and more that came into the show, but chose not to be part of the judging.”
The K Class, is designed for those who choose not to be judged. There will also be a special class of cars competing in a statewide competition for sound systems sponsored by the IASCA (International Auto Sound Challenge Association).
