I just received an e-mail from Long Island Cars (an events manager) with the 2017 car shows calendar. These shows include every type and classification of automobile, American muscle cars, foreign and domestics, antique/classic to street rods and rat rods, from new to old, customs and "one of a kind", and always some exotic's.
The Swap Meet section of these shows are like a car flea market with food vendors and new product vendors. I've seen everything from rusty ice skates to wooden hand planes to old engine analyZers to 45's being sold.
It's not unusual for there to be 100-150 vehicles at each meet. Well run, family oriented (no crazy loud music, and no burnouts or racing is allowed). Cars to be judged pay $20-$25. General entry fee is $8-$9.
And there's usually a car corral for "For Sale" vehicles.
Here's the link I received:

I will gladly meet up and "caravan" with any member willing to make the trip. Some of these are on the north shore of the island and some on the south shore. You can pick and choose if you're so inclined.

I'm sure that others will possibly opt for the ferry to save ware and tear on the car and driver. Everyone has to determine for themselves, the "cost vs. comfort/convenience" ratio, which suits them best.
