Photos: Clifton's Annual Labor Day Car Show

The annual car show raises money for local charities.

Custom Cruisers of Northern Virginia and the Clifton Lions Club held their 13th Annual Show “On the Streets” on Labor Day, raising funds to benefit two local charities — Life with Cancer and the Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program.

The event raised nearly $15,000, which will be evenly divided between the two charities, according to Jim Chesley, president of Custom Cruisers of Northern Virginia.

Chesley was expecting about 450 show cars, but because of weather, only 183 cars were registered.

"We had a good day, and everyone had a good time," said Chesley.
