As part of Ronan Pioneer Days festivities, a classic car show was held near Glacier Bank on a warm and sunny Saturday, drawing car enthusiasts and curious spectators alike. The event ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring more than 10 eye-catching vehicles and over 20 entries up for voting in the “Best Car” category.
Those attending chatted with proud car owners about the history and restoration efforts behind their rigs. The atmosphere was lively, with the cars offering a nostalgic glimpse into automotive history and community pride.
Tom Dibernardo, a local spectator, said the event took him back in time.
“Today’s car show is interesting — it takes me back to my youth,” he said.
“I think the show is interesting since a lot of younger people haven’t gotten to see or drive cars like these. I like how they allow younger folks to take a look at these older vehicles.”
He also encouraged more classic car owners to participate in events like this.
“There are a lot of people with collectible cars like these, and they’re going by the wayside. But I think they should still get involved so that the cars aren’t just forgotten.”
Caralee Starkel, one of the event organizers, brought out her own vintage ride to share with the crowd.
“I brought out my ’68 Mustang,” she said. “I love seeing people come out and enjoy the cars.”
Attendee Chandler Miller was also impressed with the turnout and variety of vehicles.
“I thought today’s car show was pretty good, with some beautiful trucks and cars,” Miller said. “I enjoyed how open everyone was about everything — and the work that went into getting their cars in the shape they’re in.”
With a strong turnout, perfect weather, and plenty of stories shared between generations, the car show was a standout part of Ronan Pioneer Days—celebrating not just classic vehicles, but the community that keeps them alive.
