This doesn’t happen here every day, or even every week, or month. Once a year the town of Cary closes off its primary street and hosts Wheels on Academy.
It is always a fun surprise to see what people keep in their garages. This year’s event was no exception.
Right off there were several classics from the early 20th century. Above is a model T from Ford.

We enjoyed the air-cooled VW and Porsche cars.

This Corvette brought back memories of cruising around Cape Cod roads.
One of the last great cars from Pontiac was the Solstice GT.
So many amazing and beautiful cars to see. It was also great to talk to each of the owners and learn the story behind each one. Here, Jo has picked out the one she wanted to bring home.
