Vintage car show rolls through Lake George

Clark recently opened her own garage – Gwen’s Cars – and may put her name or the business’ on the door of the Chevy. Passersby gave her some suggestions for other things to draw. She says she’ll consider the suggestions.

The Adirondack Nationals Car Show is a beloved annual tradition for motorists – Clark has come for years herself. For others, it’s been generations. At the Fort William Henry lot, a black Chrysler is coupled by a plaque telling the story of the four generations of family history behind it.

“My grandfather worked at a Chrysler dealership, and my father always had Chryslers, and it got passed onto me,” said Mike Cummings of Saratoga Springs. “It means a lot that I kept the family tradition going, and I’m a Mopar guy – all my cars at home are Mopar vehicles.”

At Charles R. Wood Festival Commons, the collection of cars was coupled by an alley of vendors, selling everything from car parts and t-shirts to fried food and drink to fight the sun.
