Loudoun's Creighton Farms To Host Italian-Themed Auto Show

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Creighton Farms, a community near Aldie in Loudoun County, is hosting an Italian auto showcase on Saturday, Nov. 7, where rare historic model cars and their current counterparts will be on display. As part of the auto show, the organizers also will showcase historic models that have been converted to electric.

The Cars & Cappuccino event will give attendees an opportunity to see the cars from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and then again from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. when they return to the property. During the break, the cars will go on a brief road excursion.

A limited number of tickets are available at $50 each and include continental breakfast for the early event and lunch for the later event.

“We’re delighted to host this popular event,” said Wayne Trudeau chief sales officer for Southworth Development, owner and manager of Creighton Farms. “Many of our residents are avid collectors with a big interest in vintage and rare autos.”

In 2019, Creighton Farms was part of the Mille Miglia USA in partnership with the Italian 1000 Miglia. The Italian road race has been called “the most beautiful race in the world.” Last year, Creighton Farms hosted the Mille Miglia USA, a qualifier for the Italian race.

During the event, Creighton Farms showcased the participants’ cars along with other rare cars in an exclusive “Then & Now” before the Mille Miglia USA participants left for the day’s time trials and road race.

This year, due to the coronavirus crisis, the Italians are not able to host their event at Creighton Farms. Instead, Creighton Farms invited back the Mille Miglia USA participants and will once again hold the “Then & Now” auto showcase with the rare historic models.

The Nov. 7 event is being held outdoors and within Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state guidelines. All participants and spectators must wear masks to attend.
