Cornell’s Used Auto Parts Hosts Successful Car Show Benefiting Double H Ranch
GREENFIELD, NY – A vibrant showcase of automotive history and culture unfolded at Cornell’s Used Auto Parts in Greenfield this past weekend, where the local community gathered for their 2nd annual Car Show. The event featured an impressive array of vehicles ranging from meticulously restored early 20th-century classics to the latest models, with a special emphasis on American muscle cars.
Building on last year’s success, this year’s show highlighted standout examples of iconic classics from the golden age of American auto manufacturing, with a wide range of Pontiacs, Chevrolets, Chryslers, and Fords, drawing enthusiasts and casual admirers alike. The gleaming chrome and revving engines of classic muscle cars such as the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Chevelle SS turned the venue into a thrilling time capsule of US-made automotive prowess. While plenty of other manufacturers were featured, it was the domestic steel that truly stole the show.
Awards were handed out for Best in Show for multiple categories, including modern, classic, and muscle cars, as well as an overall winner. “We are thrilled with the turnout and the enthusiasm from the community,” said Mike Colvett, General Manager of Cornell’s Used Auto Parts. “It’s a great way to celebrate our love for cars while supporting a fantastic cause.”
Cornell’s is no stranger to community-building, as they continue to grow their network of customers – both individuals and businesses such as dealerships – by providing reliable, low-cost parts that are also eco-friendly. That simple formula, combined with Cornell’s steadfast dedication to customer service, is the engine that drives their success.
The event not only served as a celebration of automobile heritage but also as a charitable gathering, successfully raising over $6,400 for Double H Ranch. Located in Lake Luzerne, Double H Ranch provides specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses.
Attendees were treated to more than just a display of iconic cars. The event included a live DJ, a grill manned by the Cornell’s crew themselves, and a family-friendly atmosphere, giving gear-heads of all ages and experience levels a chance to enjoy the afternoon.
The car show also offered an opportunity for local auto enthusiasts to share stories and knowledge about restoration techniques and automotive history. “These events are crucial in keeping the spirit of classic American cars alive,” noted Jake Richards, a participant and car restorer.
As Cornell’s Car Show grows each year, it continues to attract more participants and spectators, each adding to the fabric of this unique community event. With the dual appeal of celebrating automotive history and supporting a noble cause, Cornell’s Used Auto Parts Car Show has cemented its place as a much-anticipated local tradition.
Looking forward to next year, Cornell plans to expand the event with even more cars and activities to continue supporting the vital work done by Double H Ranch. “Seeing the community come together, sharing their passion for cars while helping others, is what makes all the effort worth it,” Colvett concluded.
For those who missed this year’s show, plans are already underway for next year’s event, promising to be bigger and even more engaging.
