Each year, Florence’s Historic Old Town comes alive with the sights and sounds of more than 100 of America’s best rods and cruisers, music, fun and games.

The show and shine resumes Sunday at 9 a.m. and continues until noon, when several awards, including Best in Show, will be presented. The winner of Best in Show will have their vehicle featured on next year’s promotional poster, as was with last year’s winner featured on this year’s poster.
