LONDONDERRY — Get your gleaming roadster, awesome muscle car or partially restored jalopy over to the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, where once a year the spotlight shines on vehicles that don’t leave the ground.

The Aviation Museum’s annual Classic Car Show will be held on July 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Vehicles of all makes and eras are welcome, including odd or unusual conveyances. It’s a great chance for proud owners to show off their completed projects or works in progress and for the public to check out some amazing rides from all over New England.

The car show is held on the grounds of the Aviation Museum, 27 Navigator Rd. with close-up views of the action on nearby Runway 17-35 at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

“It’s a great way to spend a summer day outside, checking out vintage vehicles while seeing old friends and making new ones,” said Executive Director Jeffrey Rapsis.

Trophies will be given for the People’s Choice Award and the Museum Award. All registered entrants will be included in a raffle with multiple winners of valuable prize packages. A separate 50/50 raffle will be held as well as a yard sale, with all proceeds to benefit the Aviation Museum, a nonprofit organization.

There is an admission/registration fee of $10 per vehicle entry plus occupants. Owners are asked to arrive between 9 and 10 a.m.

Admission to the grounds for spectators is $5 per adult; children 12 and under free. Admission is cash only. Only show cars will be allowed on museum grounds; spectators and visitors are asked to park on local streets outside the museum.

The event will have several food trucks. Portable toilets will be available during the show. The Aviation Museum will be open to visitors starting at 10 a.m.; admission to the museum is included with car show entrance until 2 p.m.; after that, regular admission applies until the museum closes at 4 p.m.

Businesses or dealers wishing to attend as vendors at the car show should call Leah Dearborn at 603-669-4877 to reserve space. A limited number of vending spaces is available.
