Late in the Summer 2010, the Bear Mountain Car Show is still pulling a strong crowd of diverse cars. From wild and rare Italian exotics to classic American muscle, the show keeps getting bigger and better every year. You have to hand it to Rodbenders and PopYourHood for putting on such a great show at such a scenic location. Some of the highlights last week were the rare Ferrari F40 and the one owner 1970 Shelby GT 500 Convertible.

Last week some impressive American muscle cars showed up:

Plymouth Duster	Shelby GT500 Convertible
Chevrolet Camaro	Dodge Challenger

The Bear Mountain Car Show moved to the lawn in mid-May bringing out the full throng of local muscle, sports and collector car enthusiasts from the Hudson Valley. The show continues to impress all who attend with the eclectic mix of American Iron, resto-mods and classic sports cars.

The Bear Mountain Car Show kicked off its 10th season of classic and collector car events on Wednesday, May 6th in the parking lot at the Bear Mountain Skating rink (next to The Inn).  Typically the show begins here and then moves to the large lawn next to The Bear Mountain Inn later in May.

Though threatening showers kept some party-goers at home shining chrome and waxing new paint in the garage, a few diehards came out to celebrate the new season.  As usual an eclectic mix of sports, exotic, antique and muscle cars came out to the show. (more…)

Threatening showers on Wednesday July 30 lead to a smaller (than the usual 300 cars or so) turnout at Bear Mountain. A couple of die hard car enthusiasts came out to show their cars as they did not fear the rain. Hey, not all these cars are “garage queens”, though in our opinion, some of them should be. We were fortunate enough to run into the great guys from Performance Rentals, Inc who brought out their 750 Horsepower Supercharged Dodge Viper SRT-10 and their Ferrari F355 GTS. If anyone is looking to rent some killer, “real” performance cars (no paddle shifters, please), these are the guys to go to. They have a stable of about 10 awesome sports cars that you’ll definitely have some fun with. (more…)

The Wednesday night car show at Bear Mountain, NY continues on as we break through to the first days of summer. Great weather brought out a record number of enthusiasts showing more than 300 cars on the main lawn next to the Inn. A wide variety of collector cars were on hand from the 1937 Cord Phaeton to the ’59 and ’62 Corvettes to the 60’s Sunbeam Tiger . We even saw a Jensen Interceptor , a pretty rare sighting. (more…)

Over 150 cars showed up to the Bear Mountain Show on May 28th making this show the biggest of the year so far. The show is now moved to the lawn with food and drink served. Recognition awards were handed out for various categories and 50/50 money is being raised for charity. (more…)

The 9th Season of the Bear Mountain Car Show opened on Wednesday May 7th, 2008. The show is held every Wednesday starting at 6:00pm and is a collaborative effort of the Rod Bender’s Car Club and the Palisades Park Conservacy in New York.
