This year, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles marks its 100th anniversary. As part of this year’s celebrations, the DMV is inviting the public to Saturday’s “Through the Decades: DMV Classic Car Show.”
The car show, which showcases the evolution of automotive history, from vintage classics to modern marvels, will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the DMV’s Richmond location, 2300 West Broad Street.
Admission and parking are free for spectators. Proceeds from car registration and donations go to support Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia.
“We are so excited to partner with the Colonial Rod Club to welcome our community to celebrate the reason DMV started all those years ago, our cars,” said DMV Commissioner Gerald Lackey. “Seeing the passage of time through the cars is truly wonderful. And we are honored and humbled knowing that proceeds from this event are going to the amazing work that Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia is doing around our great commonwealth.”
Since 1987, Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia has granted more than 5,800 wishes for children with critical illnesses in local Virginia communities.
“We often hear from parents that the wish experience gives their child the strength needed to continue their medical journey,” said Sheri Lambert, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia. “We’re so thankful to partner together to help these grant life-changing wishes at such an amazing celebration of automotive and DMV history.”
