Downtown Brantford was converted into a giant showroom for hundreds of classic and new vehicles during the sixth annual Telephone City Car Show on Sunday.

The sun was shining as thousands of people strolled along Dalhousie Street, Colborne Street and several side streets to view the vehicles, including antiques, customs, trucks, muscle cars, lowriders and racing cars.

“The weather certainly cleared up this year,” show chairman Jim Hardie said. “Last year, it rained non-stop, but this is a beautiful day.”

Hardie said close to 400 cars lined downtown streets on Sunday.

The Grumpies performed throughout the afternoon in Harmony Square.

Hardie expressed thanks to event sponsors.

“This is a charity car show,” Hardie said. “All the proceeds go to Participation House.”
