Swartz Creek Hometown Days Car Show
Saturday, May 31st started out as an overcast, damp, windy and chilly day. But that was not going to detour Shiny Rust Promotions from moving forward setting up and getting ready for the second show of the year. The weather slowly got better and by 8:00am, there were a good amount of participants who braved the weather and were ready to show off their rides. Once it go to be about noon-time, the winds had calmed, the sun tried to peek through and it turned out to be a pretty nice day.
The variety of vehicles were awesome and each one unique in their own right. From classics to hot rods to antiques to uniques, this show had it all. Plus the setting being on Morrish Road, just south off Miller Road was again, the perfect location. The show wrapped up about 1:30pm with the awards presentation. Winners are listed below. We wish there were more awards to hand out, as there were plenty of others who were well deserving.
Thank you to Monica and Brenda from GM CCA Flint for their attendance and sponsorship support for this event. Also to Troy from Jan’s Bar & Grill and Red’s Collison for their support, both located in Swartz Creek.
Shiny Rust wants to extend a MAJOR THANK YOU to the Swartz Creek Hometown Days for having us host the car show portion of their festival weekend. Also a thank you to all the participants and patrons alike who made it out and enjoyed the show.

The Wrigley Center Car Show
Well, the inaugural classic car show is now in the books. The early morning of the event had some weather concerns for all. But as the Shiny Rust volunteers started to set up the check-in area, the drizzle stopped, the winds subsided and temps rose enough to make it comfortable even though it did remain overcast for the most part. Then the cool rides started to roll in. The show started at 12noon and even though there were some who didn’t make it as the threat of weather did keep them home, there was a nice variety of vehicles from previous Autorama Show Winners to some very impressive vintage classics and some high-dollar newer vehicles.
The rides lined Fort Street (the east side of the Wrigley) and there were some spread out in the Wrigley Center venue with the Game room garage doors open for the public to roam in & out. The Wrigley had food and beverages available for purchase which made it nice for owners and patrons alike.
As the afternoon went on, the sun peeked out a few times and more patrons arrived to check out all the cool rides and to check out the Wrigley Center. As the show neared the end, which was scheduled for 4:00pm, it was time for the awards presentations.
The vehicles in attendance were ‘all winners’ in some degree, but there were trophies handed out after judging was completed and tallied, then the winners were awarded. Below are the results.
And a major thank you to the City of Port Huron, Port Huron Fire and Police Dept., Port Huron DPW and the owners/staff at the “Wrigley Center”.
The winners photos can be seen in the photo gallery on the home page (click on the link for viewing).

2025 Shiny Rust Promotions Season has started!
The 2025 Shiny Rust Promotions season has already started and now as we head into the summer, we are going full throttle with Classic Car & Hot Rod Shows, PLUS some other unique events coming up this fall.
With the success of the Chrome & Ice Show that was back in February at the Dort Financial Center, Flint, it was the perfect way to start the season partnering that show with Jamo and the Griffin Engine Shop out of Owosso. Attendance was good and pretty much every patron stopped by the booth to chat.
As we now are into the spring, Shiny Rust will be hosting the inaugural ‘Wrigley Center Classic Car Show’ May 17th in downtown Port Huron.
The next event in May will be the ‘Swartz Creek Hometown Days Classic Car Show’ on May 31st in downtown Swartz Creek. Both of these events are open to all classes and there is more detailed info in the ‘Up Coming Events’ link (at the top of the website page).
And as always, Randy Wolfman will be attending various other car show events in the surrounding area. If ya see me, make sure to say a hello!
