Cord Meyer Development Announces Return of Classic Car Shows

Back by popular demand, Cord Meyer Development will present a series of free classic car shows this summer at its Bay Terrace Shopping Center featuring Jackie DeLuca and the Queens Classic Car Club. The shows will begin on Tuesday, May 30th, and run from 5 pm-9 pm every other Tuesday through August 22nd. Each of the seven car shows will feature charity raffles and live music, with rain dates saved for the Tuesdays in-between. This summer marks the third year in a row Cord Meyer is hosting the Bay Terrace classic car shows.

“We are thrilled to welcome back this enjoyable, family-friendly event that makes such great use of the shopping center’s excess available parking and outdoor space,” remarked Cord Meyer Vice President and Bay Terrace Project Lead Joe Forgione. “Some show nights see more than 250 classic cars participating. With all its dining options and ample free parking, the Bay Terrace Shopping Center is the perfect place for a car show. We look forward to presenting other events throughout the year, including our seasonal outdoors festivals, while meeting the needs of our neighbors in Bay Terrace and beyond.”

Performing live at the upcoming car shows will be popular, mainly classic-rock cover bands, including:

Show 1: May 30th – Zocial

Show 2: June 13th – Chicken Head Rocks

Show 3: June 27th - Lisa Polizzi Band

Show 4: July 11th – Damaged Goods Band

Show 5: July 25th – T Minus Ten

Show 6: August 8th – Contraband

Show 7: August 22nd – The Second Street Band

Each of this summer’s classic car shows will include a 50/50 raffle to benefit St. Mary’s Hospital for Children in Bayside. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who participated in last year’s raffle, $3,400 was raised for St. Mary’s, with Cord Meyer providing an additional $10,000 donation. Both Cord Meyer Development and the Queens Classic Car Club are longtime supporters of St. Mary’s.
