Restored Rusty Relics at Allegro of Harrington Park

2023 Joint Show with the Corvette Club

This July event was open to residents of Allegro of Harrington Park, an assisted living center in a wooded area by the reservoir. The Rusty Relics had choice places by the front doors; though some would say the Corvette Club had choicer places in the shade, a group of Relics set up seats under the big parking canopy as well.

Some Relics ended up in a middle ground—Rob’s Hudson and (not enough of) Ken’s Corvette, for example.

Some quite rare cars showed up, such as one particular Buick; along with two Road Runners of different years and of course many many Corvettes.

The Allegro people directed traffic and had two sources of food on the site: a morning breakfast truck which also dispensed coffee, all at no charge, and then they cooked burgers and dogs for all, with water or soda again free. They were quite hospitable and our primary host, Dejan, was interested in pretty much all of the cars, from what I could see.

The Harrington Park Fire Department brought in one of their trucks for display, as well, drawing some residents out to the show; from there, they kept on going into the Corvettes and classic cars.

The direct sunlight was extremely hot, but the facility cleverly included a large shaded area which attracted a good number of the car folk.
