Summer Auto Show: Awards

The Saratoga Automobile Museum’s Summer Auto Show in the Saratoga Spa State Park delivered everything car lovers could hope for — perfect weather, incredible automobiles, and a record-breaking turnout. After weeks of rain-plagued Saturdays, the skies finally cleared, and more than 1,000 registered cars rolled onto the show field, making this year’s event the most successful in Museum history.

The Museum extends a heartfelt thank you to its generous sponsors: Saratoga Honda, Northeast Acura, Mohawk Collision, and Porsche Clifton Park. Their support helped make the day one for the record books.
