On Sunday, April 27th, the Harper Auto Club hosted its Spring Semester Auto Show, and it went off without a hitch!
People had come from all over to see the thousands of cars that were lined up in parking lots 8,9, 10, and 11 of the Harper College Campus, including sports cars, project cars, old cars, and everything in between.
Michael Ligda, one of the members of Auto Club, said that he was one of the original people who statted the Auto shows here at Harper but talks about his future plans regarding the show.
This was the third car show so far hosted by Harper Auto Club, the first being Spring of 2024 and the second being Fall of 2025.
“This has gotten to be our biggest turnout yet, and hopefully, next year we do this, we are going to have another bigger turnout because this year we finally brought a food truck in,” Ligda said.
Being this successful marks the first time that Harper Auto Club hosted an Auto Show with a food truck. Ligda mentions that because of the big turnout, they will likely be able to have another food truck for next year’s Auto Show as well.
Ligda mentions that Harper Auto Club recently partnered with FullyDrivn for this car show and that it could be a reason for the large turnout.
FullyDrivn is a car brand that will host events and get all car lovers in one place to enjoy and talk about what they love – cars.
Daniel Nevarez was also here today because of his work with FullyDrivn and he was here as a vendor for his brand, Loop Runner, which works to spread mental health awareness through car lovers.
“FullyDrivn invited me here today. This is my first time working with them, and it has been a very easy process,” Nevarez said.
Nevarez reflects on the show’s success and is hoping for more down the road.
“I couldn’t believe we filled out the entire parking lot. It’s nice to see the car community come together and have a nice get together,” Nevarez explained. “If I am invited again, I’ll definitely be coming back.”
Retired Harper College marketing professor, Michael Chomiczewski, also came out to show off his two Japanese domestic imported cars from the 90’s. He explains why he loves older cars compared to newer ones.
“To me, these are the cars you would see in the Fast and Furious, you know the first few films. To me, the designs are iconic,” Chomiczewski said. “Nowadays, a lot of the cars, they just all look the same. They all look like they are interchangeable.”
