34th Annual Time Machines Car Show And Flea Market

The 34th Annual Time Machines Antique Car Show & Flea Market will be held Sunday, July 22, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Guilford Fairgrounds, 111 Lovers Lane, Guilford. Rain or Shine.

Presented by the CT Area Classic Tbirds Club, Inc., this event has an expected attendance of 500 show cars. About 125 vendor spaces will be filled mostly with auto related items plus some general items to interest all our attendees. A portion of the proceeds benefits various charities. A 50/50 Raffle will be held to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.

There is a good variety of antique vehicles to enjoy with 26 judged classes. Pick Ups and Commercials (including taxi, police, fire, military, hearse) will be the Featured Classes this year which gives these vehicles parking up front. Other classes are most often grouped by brand affiliation including stock & modified classes. There are also classes for muscle cars, street rods & foreign cars. Three of our unique Time Machines trophies are awarded per judged class plus additional trophies for the Best Un-restored vehicles, First, Second and Third and a President's Choice Trophy. For people who want to share their special cars newer than 1988, a display only, non judged class is available.

Metal dash plaques are given to the first 350 registrants, vehicles up to 1987. To be eligible for trophy, competition vehicles need to be on the show field by noon and be present for the awards ceremony at 3 p.m. There will be a car corral featuring cars for sale, multiple food vendors for breakfast, lunch, snacks, Ice Cream, music by a DJ, prizes, and clean permanent bathrooms. Spectator parking is free on site.
