The 16th annual Orchard Beach Classic Car and Motorcycle Show had many automotive aficionados’ hearts revving with excitement on Sunday, September 25.
Hosted by the Eastcoast Classic Car Association, the annual charity fundraiser featured live musical entertainment by Jackie DiMaggio and WCBS FM’s Joe Causi, celebrity appearances, classic cars and motorcycles and the time honored police-escorted motorcycle run to and from the World Trade Center site.
All proceeds raised were donated to the Widows and Orphan Fund of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Little People of America and St. Mary’s Hospital in Queens,
