Brandon, SD Hosts Antique Car Show

Follow @Nate_WekSDPB

Automania invaded Brandon, SD on Saturday with hot rods, sportsters, and antique collector cars spanning throughout seven blocks in the heart of the town. The event also provided the public with food vendors, live music, an auction, and classic memorabilia stands.

This annual event is labeled as “the Midwest’s largest free to the public automotive event.” Gary Lewis & The Playboys provided a fraction of the live entertainment.

A wide variety of cars were present at the car show. On one side of the street you could see a 1929 Ford Model A, and on the other side was a 2015 Chevy Camero SS. However, a majority of the cars were from the 1950’s era.

Hot Harley Night’s (Harley Davidson Motorcycle event) and Hot Summer Night's (Corvette car show) will take place in Sioux Falls in the month of July. Both of those events will be similar to Automania.
