The group will then travel down Levee Street, on to Jackson, Cherry and Chambers Streets. They will travel through the Glenwood Circle neighborhood and on to Mission 66, Wisconsin Avenue and wind their way back to Plaza Drive.

“This is one of the prettiest routes I could come up with,” event organizer Al Mashburn said in a recent social media post. “So if your street is listed above and if you want to see some pre-’49 vehicles, be ready to see them when we come by, or gather on Washington Street to view the cars as we come by, between 2 and 4:30 p.m.”
