A free classic car show is set for Saturday, Sept. 20 at The Lyceum parking lot, located at 201 S. Washington St. in Old Town Alexandria.
The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Co-sponsored by Packards Virginia and the Office of Historic Alexandria, the show will feature a variety of Packards ranging from the 1930s–1950s as well as other “orphan” vehicles that are invited to register as well. Orphan cars are any brand of vehicle built by an out-of-business manufacturer.
