“Vintage cars are living proof that the past can be beautifully preserved in the present, and exude a sense of elegance that transcends time.”

During our 19-mille morning bike ride Bill and I attended the colorful 13th Annual Classic Car Show at the Historic Saratoga Village on Sunday. While a great many of attendees had to take the free shuttle service from West Valley College, we were able to casually walk our bikes along Big Basin Way that was closed off to traffic, pausing to view the more than 250 plus cars on display. Owners of these beauties were seated nearby to answer any questions and bask in the praise of the passersby. We even saw a custom bike that belonged to a guy who has been making them for 30 years. The free public event was hosted by the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce. Interestingly enough, there were military vehicles on display including a US Army tank that Bill is positioned in front of.
Postscript: You don’t have to be a car buff to enjoy these events. Car shows bring people of all stripes together to share their passion for automobiles. These cars were freshly detailed and buffed to the nines, and are a big draw for people like myself who love photography and enjoys aesthetic beauty and art form of all kinds.
