The township of Millburn/Short Hills has been very appealing to potential new home owners, and not just because it is conveniently located outside of New York City, and surrounded by other well reputed popular towns such as Madison, Maplewood, Chatham Township, Chatham Borough, South Orange and Summit. Potential real estate investors are also interested in purchasing property in this lovely area because there are always interesting and fun activities sponsored by the township for residents to enjoy. Such an activity was just held recently—the Classic Car Show.
Every year the township of Millburn/Short Hills holds the Classic Car Show on Millburn Avenue. This year over 150 classic cars were present, several of which won awards. Some of the winning cars included: 1900-1929: first place, Anthony Boffa, 1929 Ford Model A; second, Bruce Wotring, 1921 Dodge Touring Car; third Robert Abbott, 1915 Model T Ford; 1930-1939: first, Herbert Dougherty, 1935 Auburn Convertible; second, Bern Davis, 1936 Ford Roadster; third, Richard Emerson, 1939 Packard; 1940-1949: first, George Scott, 1941 Cadillac Series 61; Charles Joyce, 1948 Lincoln Continental; third, Jon Ross, 1949 Packard; 1950-1959: first, Cheryl Chpaman, 1956 Ford Thunderbird; George Roeck, 1952 Buick Roadmaster; third, Barbara Stauber, 1957 Chevy Belaire; 1960-1969: first, Gregory Dellia Pia, Cadillac Fleetwood; second, Angelo Rontonda, 1962 Ford Thunderbird; third, James Mooney, 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible; 1970-1979: first, Richard Richelieu, 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle; second, Jay Habedank, 1971 Olds Cutlass; third, Gary Pellorelli, 1973 Chevy Camaro Z-28; 1980-present: first, Randy Tognette, 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo; second, John Mandela, 1987 Olds 442; third, Ken Spingarn, 2002 Ford Thunderbird; and the Kit/Replica: Gordon Lorig, 1965 Austin Healey.
This year’s car show was so popular that some classic cars had to be turned away. It is no wonder that potential new home owners would want to be a part of a community in which members are so deeply involved. Not every community boasts events in which residents are all eager to participate every year. The township of Millburn/Short Hills is truly a special and unique place.
