Plant City took a trip back through time last weekend during the Plant City Strawberry Classic Cruise-In.
Every month, these unique cars roll into town and draw substantial crowds to the area. Some car owners theme their rides for the upcoming holiday — like the man who had two elves working under his vehicle on Palmer Street or the Corvette that had snow piled in the window — while others stick to the traditional look.
There were even special appearances by Lightning McQueen from Disney Pixar’s “Cars” and a company vehicle from “Jurassic Park.” Whether you’re interested in unique builds, eyebrow-raising renovations or simply want to spot something that immediately takes you back to memories of yesteryear, the Classic Cruise-In has a vehicle for you.
It’s also a car lover’s social paradise. As people walk the streets looking at each individual car their owners proudly sit in lawn chairs beside or behind them, eager to strike up a conversation with anyone who appears to be interested in their beloved vehicle. Check out the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce’s social media pages and calendar for future dates. The car show is held on the third Saturday of every month in the heart of history downtown from 3 to 6:30 p.m., rain or shine.
