allow the antique auto owners to be able to Enjoy
the Great Connecticut Traditional Jazz Festival!

Please Enjoy More Photos From The Antique Auto Display At The 1997 Version Of The Great Connecticut Jazz Festival At The Sunrise Resort In Moodus, CT... As you can see, a very nice array of antique autos typically participate--from Domestics and Imports (special tip of the hat to the CT MG Club for their always-impressive muster of their cars at the Jazz Fest!), Classics and Sportscars, Sedans, Wagons, and Convertibles, even "Exotics" (such as the awesome 1954 Hudson "Italia" that appears elsewhere on this page--yes, there was one at the Jazz Fest!). The "big top" tent in the background of several of these images is but one of the festive music venues at the Jazz Fest (so you can see that the old cars get a special display spot that's "right in the thick of it!).
