The 66th Birthplace of Speed Antique Car Show was held on Saturday, Nov. 30, at Fortunato Park along the Halifax River in Ormond Beach.
Presented by the Volusia Region of Florida’s Antique Automobile Club of America and the city of Ormond Beach, the event celebrated the area’s deep ties to auto racing history.
The show featured vehicles from 1999 and earlier, with all entries adhering to strict guidelines as unmodified originals — no customs, hot rods, or modern modifications allowed. Among the highlights was this year’s featured car, a 1965 Ford Falcon, owned for the past 20 years by AACA club member Sam Musgrove of Eustis.
The car show is typically held the day after the annual Gaslight antique car parade, but this year's parade was canceled due to weather.
