    10 am - 3 pm30th & Fort Street, Omaha, NE

     

    The Douglas County Historical Society and the Meadowlark Model A Ford Club are hosting the Vintage Wheels at the Fort Car Show again this year. The event will take place on Sunday, August 20, 2017 at the Metropolitan Community College Fort Omaha Campus at 30th and Fort Street. This will be the fourth year for this fun day at the Fort for the entire family and it is planned to be the best yet. All vintage cars and trucks at least 50 years old (pre-1968) and in original or restored original condition are welcome. There are no entry fees, no classes, no hot rods, no street rods, no rat rods, etc. Just vintage vehicles the way they were during the first 3/4 century of the automobile era. Take a free tour of the 1879 General Crook House Museum on "Officers Row" of the Fort and wander among the cars displayed on the street under the giant shade trees. Lunch, cold drinks and snacks will be available and several groups will provide live music throughout the day. Free rides will be available in vintage vehicles. The show will run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and vehicles are welcome to come and go at any time. Enter the Fort at the East entrance at 30th and Fort Street or through the South entrance off Sorensen Parkway and follow the signs for either the public parking lot or the registration table. Bring the entire family for a great time in a wonderful park setting.
