It was a record-setting year for the 10th annual San Jose Car and Truck Show, which raised $13,000 for the Bishop John J. Snyder Community Center.
The annual event was held at St. Augustine’s Dupont Station Shopping Center on Saturday, April 5, and featured 80 vehicles of various types and eras across 12 categories. A special display of five vehicles from the First Florida Chapter of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association was on hand as well.
This record-breaking anniversary event has pushed this fundraiser, launched in 2016 by Joe DeSalvo, to more than $85,000 for The San Jose Apartments for seniors. DeSalvo also serves as the show’s honorary chairman.
The Best in Show award went to a 1968 Chevy Chevelle by Visual FX Custom Paint and Collision owners Paul and Becky Holman, while the People’s Choice Award went to Dave Garlington’s 1956 Peacock Blue Ford Thunderbird.
“Celebrating 10 years is a milestone,’’ said Alma Ballard, executive director/management agent of Family Housing Management Company. “We had a wonderful turnout of car owners and visitors, especially on a beautiful day that had several other car events scheduled. We’re appreciative that these car enthusiasts chose to support our show.”
