On Sunday, April 27th, the Harper Auto Club hosted its Spring Semester Auto Show, and it went off without a hitch!

People came 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 helped start the Auto shows at Harper and said he was surprised by this year’s turn out.

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 suggested.

Harper Auto Club partnered with FullyDrivn this year which likely contributed to 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 their love for cars.  

Daniel Nevarez is a vendor for his brand, Loop Runner, which works to spread mental health awareness through car lovers. 

“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 explained 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.”
