By Kirk Winter, The Lindsay Advocate – July 7, 2023
If you hear the sound of distant thunder in the early morning of July 16, do not look to the skies. Instead, grab your friends and family and head to Victoria Park and downtown Lindsay to take in the rare gathering of over 450 vintage vehicles from both the United Kingdom and North America – cars and owners who are gathering for two of the biggest cars shows on the Ontario summer circuit.
Victoria Park will be the centre of all things British that Sunday, with the Victoria British Car Club hosting Brits in the Park. 170-plus cars manufactured in the United Kingdom, restored to pristine condition, will be displayed for all to enjoy.
A few steps away, Classics on Kent, sponsored by the Lindsay Business Improvement Association, will be an open-air car park, home to an impressive collection of 300 roadsters and muscle cars gathering to remind aficionados of a simpler time when gas was cheap and Detroit produced some of the most gorgeous cars in the world.
