AUBURN - Mustangs and Cameros, hardtops and rag tops, classic cruisers and custom-built hot rods, the 36th annual Finger Lakes Region Antique Automobile Club#,s Antique Auto Show had a little bit of everything.

Bright and early Sunday morning, more than 200 classic cars roared into Emerson Park to take part in the show.

“We get people here from all over New York state,” Tina Phillips, club treasurer and member of the show committee, said. “There are people that have come from as far away as Elmira to be here for this.”

Among those making the journey was Bill Becker, of Chittenango, with his 1954 Chrysler.

Becker said that he has had the car for the past 12 years and has put a great deal of work into restoring what was once a rusty car, into a custom mint green cruiser.

“I've been coming here to this show for the last 15 years or so,” Becker said. “It is a nice atmosphere and the people at the club treat all of us that come here with our cars really good. But it is nice to bring it out and talk to people and they will stop by and ask a lot of questions, everybody is always nice and talkative.”

The show also drew a good number of local car collectors.

William Decker, of Montezuma, brought out his 1968 Chevy Impala.Decker even created a nostalgic scene around his car complete with an old fashioned diner drive up tray with burgers and an old drive-in movie speaker.

“I come out for these all the time,” Decker said. “I found the trays for about a dollar; it is just something a little different to do, makes it fun.”

With rows of cars representing all eras of classic automobiles, there was a little bit of something for everybody.
