Peninsula Automotive hosted the 12th Annual Car Show and Swap Meet and Storewide Sale on Sunday, September 9, 2012. A great day for all the friends and families who joined us for a day of fun and enjoyment. Over 60 beautiful Volkswagens competing for 1st and 2nd Place, Peoples’ Choice, and Best of Show awards were enjoyed by all of us. The day included a couple of new activities-a scavenger hunt for the adventurous and a coloring contest for the young at heart. Stop by the store to take a look at their works of art.The days event would not be complete without the ever-popular ENGINE BLOW! This year the engine ran for about four minutes before blowing up. Please enjoy the gallery of pictures below and we hope to see you next year at the 13th Annual Car Show.
