East Hampton, Conn. - The Belltown Antique Car Club will host its 55th Annual Vintage Motorcar Meet
on Sunday, August 7, 2021. Always the first Sunday in August, the show is held at the Haddam Neck
Fairgrounds in Haddam Neck. Take Rte. 151 (on the east side of the Conn. River) south from Cobalt or

Stock, unmodified antique cars & trucks at least 40 years old (up to 1981) will be judged in 24 classes,
eligible for our unique “Belltown Bell” trophies. The first 300 show cars will get a dash plaque. There
promises to be an interesting mix of everything from Brass-Era cars to 1960’s muscle cars, orphan
nameplates to luxury marques, and classic sports cars to vintage pick-ups. Judging begins at noon,
trophies awarded at 3 p.m. A display-only area will be provided for hot rods, kit cars and modified
collector cars (up to 1981) that are not eligible for trophies. All vehicles newer than 40 years old must
go to the spectator parking area.

About the Belltown Antique Car Club
The Belltown Antique Car Club is one of the oldest independent, non-make specific clubs dedicated to antique car owners
and enthusiasts in Connecticut. It was founded in 1968 in East Hampton, Conn., a town in the east-central part of the
state whose history is linked to the manufacture of brass bells (hence its nickname, Belltown).
