It was a record year for car entries at the annual Fortin’s Village Classic Car Show on Sunday.

A total of 320 cars and thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Chilliwack on June 25 for the annual vintage car show.

The Fortin’s Village Classic Car Show is one of the largest car shows in the Fraser Valley, and brings out everything from classics and muscle cars to cruisers, hot rods and trucks.

There was also live music, demonstrations, sponsor tents, and a complete food fair at Village Classic.
