CRESTVIEW—The Average Joe Car Show returned to downtown for the 17th consecutive year on Saturday and featured hundreds of vintage cars and automobile enthusiasts.
The event focused on older vehicles, requiring entries be no newer than a 1987 model.
Sixteen award categories were featured with awards for first, second and third in each category. These included sections for different decades, trucks, motorcycles, rat rods and other classes. There were eight special award classes such as best of show, best engine, most rusted and ugliest entry.
Partial proceeds from the event—raised by vehicle entry fees—will be donated to the Okaloosa School Nutrition Association Scholarship Fund.
The car show was sponsored by the city and organized by the Spanish Trail Cruisers. The group serves as a medium for the exchange of ideas, information for parts and assists and unites automobile enthusiasts to boost the community.
