Harlem, NEW YORK—Checked out the Upper Manhattan Autoshow today—an annual showcase of vintage cars where classic American design was on display.
Marking its 22nd year, the Harlem Week event began with a procession through the neighborhood, starting at Duke Ellington Plaza at 110th Street and Fifth Avenue.
The caravan of pristinely restored classics concluded 
at the show venue on 135th Street, between Fifth Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard.
The owners were on hand to share the history and design details of their prized vehicles, including a Lincoln with suicide doors, convertible Jaguars and Cadillacs, Buicks and Fords.

Fred Mobley noted that the circular accent on the trunk was designed to accommodate the spare tire inside and the most unique feature—the gas tank is hidden within the driver’s side tail light.

They are all beautiful. I had no idea that there was an Upper Manhattan Auto Show or
that there were so many classic car owners in the community. These are the models people were driving when I was growing up in Harlem. What a PLEASURE to know so many are still around
