The 22nd-annual Automobile Heritage Day, hosted by the National City Chamber of Commerce, will return to Kimball Park in National City on Sunday, Aug. 4. More than 200 participants will showcase their automobiles and compete for awards in a variety of categories, ranging from turn-of-the-century production cars to classics and muscle cars.

"This year the show will be highlighting the Corvette, and all Corvette entries into the competition are free," said Jacqueline L. Reynoso, president and CEO of the National City Chamber of Commerce. "The Corvette is a classic, all-American car and we are excited to see the variety of models that will be displayed at the show."

Attendees can expect live music, food from a variety of National City’s popular eateries, live music, entertainment for children and specialty booths. A drive-by awards ceremony at 3 p.m. will showcase first-place winners for each of the 22 classes as well as second- and third-place winners.

Winners will be selected through a competitive ranking system by experienced car judges. Visitors to the event are encouraged to vote for their favorite car, which will be awarded "The People’s Choice." Each vehicle class will receive a trophy award for the following categories: Best of Show, Best Unrestored, Class Trophies, Mitch Guarano Memorial Award, and Winner’s Circle.

The event is free to spectators. The event will take place at Kimball Park, East 12th Street and D Ave., from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The entry fee for those displaying their cars and motorcycles is $30 prior to July 15 and $40 thereafter.
