Motorama has a new home in North Haledon
This year, North Haledon will play host to the 39 th
Annual Motorama Car Show & Crafts and Automotive
Flea Market. The Jersey Lakeland Region of the Vintage
Chevrolet Club of America and its sponsor, Schumacher
Chevrolet, will host this popular event on Sunday, May
25 from 8 to 4 at the High Mountain School field at 515
High Mountain Road in North Haledon. Parking will be
available in the school lot located off Overlook Avenue.
The show will be held rain or shine, and the cars will
be on the grass. There is no blacktop at this new loca-
tion. This year’s show, which will feature seven genera-

member Don Symonds. A special parking area will be
designated for Corvettes of every year. Awards will be
presented to the first 30 Corvettes registered.
