THURSDAY, JUNE 25: ANTIQUE CARS

Profile America - Thursday, June 25th. The small town of St. Ignace on Michigan's upper peninsula will be humming today and tomorrow - for the 34th annual Car Show and Collector Vehicle Festival. Normally, the town is home to 2,500 people and doesn't have a single stoplight. The show will bring well over 100,000 visitors to gather around 2,500 special automobiles, entered from 25 states and Canada. The first St. Ignace show drew 134 cars. Interest in antique and modified automobiles is growing across the whole U.S. Each year, more than 17 million Americans flock to such shows, ranging from small events at the local firehouse to the sprawling, multiday gathering each October in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Profile America is a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau, now preparing for the 2010 Census.
