Thousands streamed to Orinda Village on Saturday, Sept. 10, for the 18th Annual Orinda Classic Car show. "Keep on Truckin'" was the theme of this year's show, which was presented by the Orinda Association and benefits the Seniors Around Town transportation program. Young and old alike enjoyed the vintage vehicles, everything from MGs to Ferraris as well as classic American cars, many that harkened back to the 1950s, the heyday of car culture. Shelby Cobras, a Ford engine-powered British performance car, an example seen here in blue, were particularly popular with the crowd.
Lining Avenida De Orinda and Orinda Way in Orinda, the annual Orinda Classic Car Show featured some 175 American and European cars and trucks, many with of their hoods open so that their engines could be closely inspected by the curious. The always popular event also provided entertainment, such as the singing duet Colette and Vivian, who perform as "Biggie Smalls," seen here belting it out on the bed of a classic pickup truck. The show was a big attraction for families of all kinds, including the "stroller hounds" and their mom, a show-stopping favorite.
