2010 Belton Main Street Merchants Car Show brought great display to historic downtown Belton, Mo.

You know there is a lot of interest in the old car hobby when cities are willing to close-off entire downtowns for car shows.

One of these car-loving locales is Belton, Mo., where the Main Street Merchants Association reserved the entire historic downtown area for their 6th-annual car show and swap meet on Sunday, June 6.

Belton’s Main Street is exactly the kind of place you would expect to see old cars. The clean, wide streets are lined with pristine buildings that look like they were just built yesterday—if yesterday were 1950. If some of the pictures from this car show were in black and white, you could easily mistake them for something that was taken with a brand-new Brownie camera.
