2019 North Jersey Auto Show from the Restored Rusty Relics Antique Auto Club

North Jersey Auto Show

at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey
We are getting ready for the next show!

The 41st annual North Jersey Auto Show took place on May 19, 2019 at Bergen Community College. We had around 440 cars, along with so many vendors selling car parts, clothing, collectibles, memorabilia, and food that we ran out of space, even after designating an overflow area.

Parade

This year was the first time since leaving Upper Saddle River that we were able to do a “trophy parade,” where spectators got to watch people drive across the show field to pick up their trophies, in the cars that merited the awards. (It was also the first time at BCC that we separated the show field into classes.)

More on the show...

This is a “classic car” show, only open to vehicles from model-year 1994 and earlier.

This event is not traditionally judged; instead, awards are selected based on factors such as unique features, condition, restoration or ownership stories, rarity, or representating a significant step in automotive development or design. Winners may not be owned by Restored Rusty Relics members; “judges” try not to select winners from the past two North Jersey Auto Shows.
