The annual Newtown Business Association Antique and Classic Auto Show has been a long running tradition since the mid 1970s when former NBA President Dave Krewson and fellow car buffs held the first auto show.  

"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 information from the NBA.

The show is free for spectators. The rain date is July 28.
