Driving in Style:
The life of vintage car collectors

 

Car collectors loiter on the curb outside the diner.


More than just a car show, the evening is a time for socializing. "This is what old people do when they get old," jokes Sharon Sivley of Laurel, who attends the cruise-ins with her husband, Dan Sivley.The evening is about more than just looking at cars; it's "date night," Sharon says. The group eats together inside the diner or outside when the weather is nice.

However, there is a limit to the collection, Sharon says, laughing. "We only have one garage, which limits him to seven vehicles."
