PHOTOS: Campbell Veterans' Car Show a Hit with Visitors

The second annual Campbell Veterans Car Show hosted classic cars, hot food, cool music and a good time for families.

The day was a scorcher but the heat wasn't a deterrent for those that came out for the second annual Campbell Veterans Car Show.

"We definitely have more people, more cars this year," said Campbell Veterans Foundation past president Jim Free.

The event is for the foundation's project, , which just outside of Campbell City Hall, across from the .

"This is just the second year," said Campbell Veterans Foundation member Bert Caro. "Hopefully every year it gets better."

Cars from every era shinned it up and made it out to the event, providing eye candy for visitors to enjoy, alongside live musical performances. 

"We work with veterans all over and if it's for the veterans, I book it," said Fred Loveland. He brought his two-toned 1934 Ford to the event Saturday, June 16, complete with various military flags.

Campbell Mayor and veteran Mike Kotowski was on hand, scoping out the rides and chatting it up with visitors.

For him, there's nothing like the style of cars of the 1950s.

"After that, it all went to hell," he said with a smile. He says cars and car design made a big comeback in the 2000s though.

Local business Bay Area Equity Group, LLC sponsored the event for the second year in a row.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
