Mustang Club classic car show features all makes

 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gearheads aren't the only ones invited to mingle among the cars Saturday at South Charleston's Summerfest.

A car show sponsored by the Mustang Club of West Virginia is expected to include more than 130 vehicles. They'll be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"This is an open show, so anything can come," said Tom Bailey, the longtime president of the local car club. "We'll have classic cars, muscle cars, antiques, even newer styles from 1985 and up."

Car owners love to chat with spectators and sometimes they end up selling vehicles out of those discussions, Bailey said. But the only scheduled sales of the day are in an auction for which sellers agree to donate $100 to the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the car club's charity of choice.

A silent auction featuring car-related items and non-car-related items also is designed to raise money for Make-a-Wish, Bailey said.

Car owners from throughout the region have expressed interest in bringing their vehicles to the show.

"I put it in the newspapers under the antique and classic car section - all the gearheads read that," Bailey said. "We've had people come from Flatwoods, Clarksburg, Huntington; we've had people from Beckley."
