Posted: September 8, 2024 218
Car buffs were out in force with cameras to capture their favorites.A classic “Detroit Sled,” this 1964 Cadillac convertible greeted visitors at 6th and Main.A 1947 Dodge Coventry convertible with custom paint and pipes.Visitors pack Main Street to attend the show.Pastor Barry Crane joins Paula Saunders (left) and Jeannie Bond (right) to serve a free pancake breakfast at North Sound Church’.A 1940 Chevy Delux coupe outside the downtown Starbucks.A car ahead of its time, this 1934 Chrysler Airflow was designed to solve the increasing problem of wind resistance as cars became more powerful and moved at higher speeds. With the assistance of aviation pioneer Orville Wright, the car was designed using a wind tunnel and employed construction techniques inspired by aviation principles. Unfortunately, the radical design proved to be too much for mainstream buyers, and the car was discontinued after only three years of production.Brooklyn Howvne, age 6, sits in this 1955 Buick Century, a former Highway Patrol car.A true classic, this 1955 Ford Crown Victoria is tricked out with a mid-century drive-in food tray and a life-size Elvis Presley.This 1957 Chevy qualifies as a “work in progress.”Meticulous attention to detail makes this engine compartment a work of art with intricately embossed chrome.“Under the Puddle” performs on the car show music stage.A proud Rolls Royce hood ornament.
It was a chance to show off their rolling works of art for a record number of entrants who filled Edmonds’ downtown with a dazzling mix of special-interest cars, trucks and motorcycles. Most entrants were in various stages of loving restoration and customization ranging from works in progress to vintage showroom to wildly tricked out. Organized by the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, the Edmonds Classic Car Show has grown in popularity over the years, never failing to draw large crowds to our downtown.
“This is our 24th Classic Car Show,” said the chamber’s Alicia Moreno. “This year we have 367 registered entrants, making it our biggest show yet.”
In addition to the array of cars and motorcycles, attendees were able to choose from a wide array of food trucks, listen to live music and enjoy a beverage in the beer garden.

Fantastic! Thanks to all the owners who brought their classics to town!
It was a great show as usual. I enjoyed the addition of the food trucks and music area. So fun to see everyone enjoying the pancake breakfast generously hosted by North Sound Church.
Thanks for making my 64 Caddy(MARES64)such a celebrity. I’m not able to get out myself so I had to miss all the action. Thanks to my family at least my “Baby” could attend. Looks like the day was a big success. Hope to see it again next year.
Gracious thank you for anonymous neighbor that turned in my lost ‘man purse’ to Edmonds Police! Whilw driving to car show at 6am, spilled coffee on driverside floor, pulled to curb and while cleaning must have inadvertantly dropped leather bag (keys,phone,credit cards,drivers license,etc.) on pavement. 3 hours later realized it was missing so briskly walked home to 9th Ave to cancel all cards, phone, etc when suddenly at my door appeared an EPD officer with contents that a wonderful gentleman walking his dog found and turned in at the station. Officer stated he wanted to remain anonymous but only way I can show my appreciation is to publically use this forum. Proud to live in such a wonderful community. Thank you Sir. Bruce Green
