6th Annual Fort Clinch Vintage Car & Motorcycle Show
December 28, 2024
The 6th Annual Cars & Cannons Vintage Car and Motorcycle Show, originally set for September 2024, was unfortunately canceled due to Hurricane Helene. However, thanks to the dedication of over two dozen hardworking volunteers, from Auto Legends Amelia and the Friends of Ft. Clinch, the event was successfully rescheduled for late December.
The show kicked off under a blanket of thick sea fog, carried in by a cool onshore breeze. At times, visibility dropped to less than half a mile. As the day progressed, the sun gradually burned off the mist, bringing just enough warmth for attendees to shed their sweatshirts.
Due to the rescheduling and holiday travel, this year’s event saw fewer cars and visitors than usual. However, the excitement was as strong as ever! A total of 25 cars, one motorcycle, and one VW bus were on display, drawing nearly 1,000 visitors. Attendees enthusiastically cast nearly 600 ballots to determine the winners of the coveted
"People’s Choice Award." Trophies were presented by Logan Eason, Board President of the Friends of Ft. Clinch.
A big congratulations to this year’s winners:
