Hundreds of classic vehicles were on display on Sunday on Avenida Del Mar for the Annual Classic Car Show, hosted by the San Clemente Downtown Business Association. Some of the models at the show were some of the rarest of their kind. Collectors come each year to compete for the best in show and best of their decade, as well as trying to win the judge’s favor in a variety of categories.
