One afternoon during the summer of 2020 as I was driving home, I stopped at a light, and when I looked over to the left, I noticed a very beautiful pastel gold Cadillac with an ivory top. I immediately pulled over to get a closer look, and introduced myself to the owner. His name was David, and to my surprise he owned not one but five historical vehicles. David proceeded to tell me that if I wanted to see more I should come to Luke Easter Park on Sunday. I showed up that weekend and was greeted by nothing but great energy and a sea of beautiful­ly kept vehicles. I was in awe, and boldly walked around, camera in hand, complimenting everyone I laid eyes on. Cleveland natives have been gathering in Luke Easter Park for over ten years, and the community has grown to hundreds of members-collections of family, friends, and neighbors. Many are retired and delight in the community of men and women­ young and old-who take pride in showing off their prized possessions. The vintage cars range from 1960s to late 90s models, in an array of sizes and colors. Some have kept their cars all original, while others have added their own flair to already flashy vehicles. I enjoy the special connections made when I meet these individuals and we can share our joined enthusiasm for the subject. As a child, I would flip through catalogs of classic cars and daydream about joy rides on the high- way. As I get older, I hold firm to my dream of own- ing my own classics. Until then, I live vicariously through my community as they show me what's truly possible on the creative spectrum of vintage cars.
