Cars born in 1910 have reached their centennial anniversary and are deserving of some special recognition, too! Our gift to you Free Admission for you if your car was born in 1910!

Also honored this year is the "Bucket T". We'll have a special area set up for everyone to enjoy.

And finally we would like to honor the 2009 Hot San Jose Nights show Award Winners with their own special "Winners Corral"! If your car won an award in 2009, bring your award with your car to the show to be included in the "Winners Corral"!

There will be lots for everyone to see and do including looking at cars and more cars, shopping at VendoRama and the Swap-a-Rama, chances to win one of the raffles, playing at the carnival, cuttin' a rug at the Sock Hop, and even testing your skill at Go Kart racing!
