The Lake Mirror Classic Auto Festival, now in its twelfth year, combines five great events into one big, fun-filled, automotive weekend and is one of the “must do” collector car shows in the southeastern United States. The display of more than 600 show vehicles on and surrounding the restored 1920’s, art deco-inspired Lake Mirror promenade in downtown Lakeland, Florida provides one of the most scenic venues in the country. The event is known for its beautiful lakefront setting and friendly atmosphere. In addition to attracting over 35,000 spectators, the Lake Mirror Classic draws over 600 show vehicles including many top car collectors from the southeast.
Hundreds of classic and collectible vehicles including Street Rods & Custom cars will be displayed on the streets of downtown Lakeland on Saturday. The cars are assembled in groups of similar makes and models in a 14-block area of downtown. Although the event is not judged, ribbons and prizes are presented to vehicles selected as sponsor favorites. Participants receive a Goody Bag from area merchants and event sponsors, a custom display sign for the vehicle and lunch for two.
The new 2011 Poster features the 1987 Jaguar XRJ-7 which will be displayed by Honorary Chairman Bob Tullius.
