Classic Car Shows in Rhode Island

Rhode Island car enthusiasts frequently gather to show off their classic vehicles and share information. According to the Classic Car Club of America, a classic car is not just any antique car, but one that typically has been manufactured between 1925 and 1948 and is on a specific list of marques. Rhode Island car shows usually provide a mix of classic, antique, hot rods and other types of cars.
