July 27 was a beautiful day for a car show in Chelsea during the Sounds and Sights Festival.

The Chelsea Classic Cruisers hosted about 314 cars from all over SE Michigan. Everything from the 1920’s to the 1970’s and from the elegant cruisers to muscle to street/rat rods. 

The Chelsea Classic Cruisers is a group of 20 couples plus 2 individuals ranging in age from 36 to over 80 who own classic cars from a 1914 Baby Grand Chevy to a 1986 Chevy K10 Silverado PU and many different types in between.

The group’s members live in Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Jackson, Manchester, Pinckney, Stockbridge and Ypsilanti, and has been hosting a large car show in Chelsea for at least 20 years.

In addition, the group holds Cruise Nights at Wendy’s in Chelsea on the first and third Tuesdays from June thru September.

The group also enjoys traveling together to other car shows.
