Fans of automotive history gathered at History Park in San Jose this month to admire a collection of classic cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. Iconic models like the Hudson Hornet and vintage Jeeps from World War II were among the displays shining in the sunlight. The event featured “period-correct” vintage machines from years up to 1955.
