Stonham Barns Park hosted wonderful vintage cars, bikes, hot rods … and all the best of American culture

The American Car, Bike & Hot Rod Show 2024, in association with Carrot Town Garage (CTG), has held its ever-popular club’s and private owner’s showcase day on Sunday 21 July at Stonham Barns Park – one of Suffolk’s premier leisure, retail and holiday destinations. The fourth show in the series attracted a record number of American cars, bikes and hot rods with muscle, power and fabulous paintwork.

It was an event strongly supported by the classic car community who exhibited a dazzling array of cars, bikes, trucks and hot rods.  Cars on show at the event spanned the last six decades, and include Buicks, Cadillacs, Chevrolets, Chryslers and Fords.

Also attending were Motion Pictures Motors – a movie car club – which showcased some famous movie cars and there was live music from The Sixteenth’s to complete the day.

Each of the exhibits arrived for a stunning static display and ‘Show and Shine’ parade with awards given to the best entrants.  There were also trade and club stands and autojumble.

Commenting on the forthcoming show, Stuart Davies, who founded sponsors Classic American Car Dealership Carrot Town Garage, said: ‘This is a stunning event which is building year on year.  We have extended it this year to include a large selection of bikes and hot rods so there was even more to see.’

‘As always it’s the show for anyone who likes statement cars with attitude.’
