Despite the weather, many people brought their cars and motorcycles to the show for judging by Mayor Joseph Polisena, Police Chief Richard S. Tamburini, and the Explorers. A special "longevity" trophy was also awarded to the longest-time owner of one of the vehicles.
Taking the Mayor's Choice Award was Gabe Pate for his 1968 Red Mustang. Chief Tamburini selected Angel Urena Sr. for his 1979 Harley-Davidson Custom Shovelhead, and the Explorers decided on Al & Cindy Korsak for their 2007 Atomic orange Chevy Corvette.
