The Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company held a Cruise-In last Thursday that proved to be a nice way to spend a summer evening. Car enthusiasts brought in their restored classic vehicles and allowed others to see their rolling works of art close up. The event was free for everyone, spectators and antique car owners alike.

Personally, I’m not a “car person” but I genuinely enjoyed the event. It’s hard to imagine that anyone couldn’t appreciate vintage vehicles meticulously restored to their former splendor. If you missed it, be sure to attend the future Cruise-Ins. They are scheduled for the first Thursday of the month until October.
