Help us celebrate this remarkable achievement by enjoying the show’s gorgeous cars, flea market, car corral and other activities. Share your memories at the show by spending time with family and friends. Take a moment to thank the show’s many volunteers and organizers, because without their countless hours in planning and dedication we would not have made it to number 60. It is the people who have made this show a success for so long. the VAE mission is “to develop and encourage interest in preservation and restoration...for the benefit of future generations”. I encourage you to visit our new web site, vtauto.org and learn more about our history, mission and our education and outreach activities. Pick up a copy of our monthly publication, WHEEL TRACKS, and take it for a read, it’s loaded with automotive articles and member profiles. Our monthly meets are always interesting with a variety of planned get togethers , cruises, automotive related tours, day and overnight trips. The VAE offers a variety of activities other than our famous show. Look for our June show in association with the Shelburne Museum next year. In short, this diverse club can offer something for everyone interested in automotive history and restoration. Our membership would love to have you included! So come share your stories and experiences in this great hobby and spur interest with the next generation of auto enthusiasts. CONGRATULATIONS ONSIXTY YEARS.Dave StoneVAE President

John des Groseilliers HardwickMessage from the Show Committee

We welcome you to this, the 60th annual Antique and Classic Car Meet of the Vermont Auto Enthusiasts. It is now one of the oldest and largest antique car shows in the Northeast, and perhaps in the country. When this show began, Model A Fords were barely old enough to be eligible, and the spectator parking lot was full of vehicles that today would be rare and valuable antique cars. We have grown immensely over the years. We started at the Spruce Peak Ski Area parking lot, on the Mountain Road in Stowe, and went to the Top Notch meadow when we needed more room. We then moved again to our current location, the Nichols Field, to accommodate our need for more space. We are pleased to be at the Nichols Field for this big 60th Anniversary event. We may now need to move again for subsequent years. The river adjoining this field is constantly eroding its banks, and reducing the available flea market area. We do not have enough spectator parking, and we suffer from poor drainage in wet weather. We have located a superior, level, and larger field which would serve us well for many years. It is over the town line, in Waterbury, closer to Interstate 89, and still very accessible to Stowe. We will keep you informed as we plan for the next 60 years of the Show.
