Show off Your Antique Car or Vintage Automobile in Memorial Day Parade

Written by Rick Shearer, Organizer of Antique Cars, Bronxville Memorial Day Parade

Apr. 23, 2014: Do you have an antique car or a classic vintage automobile 40 years or older like a 1950s MG or a 1960s Mustang? 

If so, come show it off in the annual Bronxville Memorial Day parade. 

The cars will gather at the train station on the southbound (west) side of the tracks at around 8:15 am on Memorial Day to be in place for the start of the parade and will end in the elementary school parking lot, where the antique cars will park and be on display for everyone to see. 

The Model A club that has participated in the past will be doing so again.

The Bronxville Historical Conservancy urges anyone with an antique/classic auto to join the procession, otherwise known as the Classic Car Brigade.

To make a reservation, call Rick Shearer at 914-779-0044.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
