Shelley Ostrove says it's a show where "the cars are the stars."
"We have more than 250 automobiles, motorcycles, we have got 70 vendors from T-shirts to different products for your car," Ostrove said.
He estimates it would take about four hours to see all of the cars and vendors.
Ostrove attributes the success of the format to variety.
"The reason that the cars are popular is because our show chairman goes after all the cars in the area that have not been here before," he explained.
"We don't have cars that you have seen last year, this year you are going to see a whole new selection of cars. We don't repeat the cars."
