Show History:
In 1994, the Vintage Auto Club launched The Blast from the Past charity show, initially held in July at Delaware City Water Works Park. It later transitioned to Delaware County JVS and then downtown Delaware in 2001, at the City Council's request.
Now, Co-hosted by Performance CDJR Delaware, a passionate volunteer team, and the City of Delaware, the event features some of the best collector cars, trucks, and motorcycles, and even boats on occasion.
Happening on the second Saturday in October, vintage to late model vehicles fill Historic Sandusky Street, providing a fun day for the community and car enthusiasts alike. Guests enjoy music, a farmers' market, local dining, and over 100 vehicle awards. The show consistently attracts over 500 vehicles and thousands of spectators, recognized as a top downtown event in Ohio.
