No, this isn’t the movie set of ‘Back to the Future’; it’s the Inglewood car show.

Cars, like fine wine, can become more popular with age. And this Saturday, the 17th Annual Fall Classic Car Show at Grevillea Park in Inglewood offers car connoisseurs and the simply curious a chance to see some of America’s vintage automobiles.

“We’ll have almost anything you can imagine, from a classic Model-T Ford to a ’64 Mustang convertible,” said Nathan Kessman, senior recreation supervisor for the Inglewood Recreation and Community Services Department, the show’s sponsor.

Kessman said he expects about 100 people to register their cars for the show. Only cars built before 1970 are eligible. Registration is $5 before Saturday and $20 on Saturday.

The event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; admission is free.

The jazz band First Stepp will perform throughout the day. Food will be on sale at the park, but people are invited to bring picnic lunches, Kessman said. “It’s a family-oriented event,” he said.

Most of the cars are from the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s, but some 1912 and 1914 models have shown up in previous years at the show.

Along with Fords, Chryslers, Chevrolets, Hudsons, Studebakers and other models, there will be a classic fire engine, a police car and motorcycles on exhibit.

Unlike many car shows, there is no formal judging at the Inglewood show. Instead, a “people’s choice” trophy will be awarded based on balloting by spectators. The mayor and other city officials will award trophies to their favorite cars. A prize will also be given to the best period clothing.

One of the perennial crowd pleasers is Nancy Cryder’s 1957 Thunderbird. Her husband, Larry, bought the car for her nearly 10 years ago and now, with nine gallons of paint and lacquer, the red and white two-seater with matching interior leather and two portholes “shines so much that when I drive by, people look at my car instead of where they’re going,” she said.

“People like to go see cars that they can remember,” she said. “I went to Morningside High School, and all the kids drove T-Birds and Corvettes. I walked to school. The T-Bird’s the car I always wanted.”

Bill Zimmerman of Van Nuys is another T-Bird fan. He’s been bringing his red 1957 model to the Inglewood show for the last seven or eight years. He bought it in 1964, but as his family grew he needed a station wagon. So the T-Bird sat in the shop for years.

Most of the car shows Zimmerman participates in are outside the South Bay, but he likes the Inglewood show. “It’s a chance to see cars that I don’t normally see,” he said. “And with the band and the nice park, it’s just a fun show.”

Gretal Noblitt, born and raised in Inglewood and now living in Hawthorne, said he likes the Inglewood show because it’s not far to drive his 1941 two-tone green Cadillac.

Noblitt owns three other classic cars, including the first new car he ever bought, a 1958 Pontiac. He replaced the starter, battery and interior in the Cadillac and now keeps it in his garage. The day before the show he takes it out for a “shakedown.”

“I drive it to a restaurant, go in and eat and then drive it back home,” he said.

Noblitt said that like most of the participants, he’s not interested in prizes. “I go just for the fun of it.”

Zimmerman agreed: “People go to these kinds of shows because they’re interested in the history and because it’s a social occasion.

“They like kicking tires,” he said, using a term that means gathering around cars and talking.

Not everyone, however, will spend their time talking or looking around.

“Some people bring their car to the show, park it and begin to wax it right there,” Noblitt said.
