GLEAMING Chevrolets, Corvettes, Chryslers and even a pink Cadillac were among the fleet of glamorous motors which rolled into Uppermill.
Members of the American Auto Club North West displayed around 65 vehicles at the King George V Playing Field.
The cars also included iconic models such as Pontiacs, Plymouths and Lincolns, with proceeds in aid of Saddleworth Round Table's senior citizens Christmas entertainment.
Encourage
It is the tenth year that the show, which coincides with the Yanks weekend, has been held in Saddleworth.
Vehicles spanned from the 1950s to the present day and Val Kendall, one of the event organisers, said: "We have members from Wales, Scotland and even a man from Denmark, it's not just the North West.
"A lot of people like the older models, they have the wow factor, but the younger members who we are trying to encourage prefer the Mustangs."
