Cars bring back memories

This 1930s red Chevrolet coupe won Best In Show.

A beautiful day brought out another large crowd at the Lancefield Swap Meet on Sunday with 3000 people attending the annual event.

One of the highlights is the annual car show held on the oval with about 400 cars entering this year. As usual there was an incredible array of vehicles on display many bringing back childhood memories from admirers as they walked among the cars.
