PUNTA GORDA — It may have been the National Street Rod Association’s Appreciation Day, but the 200 cars displayed at Rick Treworgy’s Muscle Car City Museum parking lot Saturday ranged from classic antiques to hot rods, and street rods to muscle cars.
The variety was a welcome sight, according to Cape Coral resident Larry Day, South Florida representative of the National Street Rod Association.
