Vettes & Jets Annual Car Show Coming To Long Island's American Airpower Museum

FARMINGDALE, NY — The American Airpower Museum is set to host the annual Vettes & Jets Car Show on Sept. 18, the museum announced.

Dozens of classic and modern Corvettes will be showcased, from the line's inception up to the present day. Jet fighters of the same eras will also be presented.

The event is set to run from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Owners who want to display their cars should meet at 8:30 a.m. in front of Gold & Meyer’s Deli at Airport Plaza in Farmingdale (at the southeast corner of Route 110 and Conklin Avenue). The cars will line up and then caravan to the museum.

A $30 per car entry fee includes museum admission for the driver and one passenger. Checks can be made payable to “Long Island Corvette Owners Association, Inc.”

The show is a fundraiser for the museum, organized by the Long Island Corvette Owners Association.

Members of the corvette association will be able to describe their Corvettes, while museum officials will be available to explain the capabilities of the jet aircraft parked near the Corvettes.

Guided tours of vintage WWII aircraft in the museum's Hangar 3 will be given, as well.

Vettes & Jets is free for museum members with valid membership cards. For the public, regular admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and veterans, and $10 for kids ages 5 to 12.

"Your contribution supports AAM’s mission to honor our veterans and U.S. aviation history, by preserving the aircraft and their legacy for future generations," the museum stated.
