2025 North Jersey Auto Show: Car Show Pics and Summary

We moved back to our old May date in 2025. (All photos are from club photographer Gene Yetter)—and to our old prices of $15 for pre-registration, and $20 for day-of-show. We dropped vendor rates, too, to $25 per space.

We had 22 pre-registered cars, 57 day-of-show entries, and around a dozen of our own members’ cars; most were classics (25 years or older), with some modern cars including a Viper and Corvettes.

Spectators have come in for free since we moved to Cresskill, enjoying the cars, trivia contests, featured-car talks, food truck, and just chatting with the cars’ owners.

We had to move to our rain date—the first in our 44-show history! Cresskill saw hefty showers on Saturday, but we’d moved our show to Sunday and enjoyed nice weather.

In addition to restored and survivor cars, we had a number of modified and “restomod” cars and trucks.

Pete Doll led the trivia contest and made announcements between Steve Calandra’s tunes. The American Legion’s 50-50 had a lucky cash winner.

Our next show is coming in 2026. We’re sending out a survey soon to our full mailing list to help us decide when to schedule it, and when to start!

The North Jersey Auto Show was presented by the Restored Rusty Relics Antique Automobile Club and the American Legion Camp Merritt Post 21. The show was at 100 Third Street, Cresskill, New Jersey.

This fine Packard, from Jay Hirsch’s photos, was one of two featured cars, along with a Pierce-Arrow.
