Notice the Rolls Royce passing by!
As part of its Independence Day celebration, Washington Crossing Historic Park invites classic car owners to compete in the third Rebels & Redcoats Classic Car Show on Sunday July 3, 2022, from 10 AM to 2 PM. If you don't happen to have a classic car to enter, I HIGHLY RECCOMEND checking out this show!
The cars were really different than all of the other shows I've attended in Bucks County, and I appreciated the American + European theme. Plus, they were in tiptop, mint condition! Seeing them all evoked great memories from my childhood. You see, my father was a car buff as well as an Anglophile, (lover of all things British) when I was growing up. He owned a series of 1960's and 1970's Jaguars that he tinkered around with and took out for Sunday drives. He instilled in me at a very young age the notion that Rolls Royces are the cream of the crop of the automobile industry, and it was always so very exciting to see one in passing when we were out driving around! My Dad also introduced me to Triumphs, MGs and many of the French and German auto brands before I was even six years old, so it was really cool seeing these cars from my childhood all in one place.
The photos above are from the 2018 Rebels and Redcoats Car Show. We went back again this year for the 2022 Show, and I was amazed at the growth. There were so many more wonderful cars to see.
Here were this year's favorites, guess I'm a British car lover too!
Look for info on The Rebels and Redcoats Classic Car Show at Washington Crossing Historic Park on the park's website. It typically takes place the Saturday or Sunday of the Fourth of July Weekend.

I loved going with him on Sunday drives!
