According to organizers, the Antique and Classic Auto Show has been a tradition since the mid 1970s, when former Newtown Business Association president Dave Krewson orchestrated the first event.

“Having no nucleus of cars to exhibit, they paid the Trenton Horseless Carriage Club to bring their cars to State Street on a Saturday in June and gave them each a $5 chit for lunch,” according to a press release from the Newtown Business Association.
