ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Get the engines going, Bishop Kearney High School and the Bonadio Group are coming together to give people quite the ride on Friday.
You’ll have the chance to view more than 70 classic and unique cars at ArtisanWorks on Blossom Road in Rochester.
The vehicles are part of 1970 Bishop Kearney graduate Gerald Archibald’s private collection. He says the inspiration behind this exhibit is makes it special.
“Lewis Perticone founded ArtisanWorks about 25 years ago. He called me up about 15 years ago,” Archibald said. “Lewis is the inspiration, he’s the visionary. As I was collecting cars, he said ‘Why don’t we do a 50s and 60s theme?’ And he came up with the idea of Mel’s Diner from American Graffiti. So we have mostly 50s, 60s, and a few 70s in the section of the museum.”
The third annual ‘Cars on Parade’ fundraising event is Friday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. All proceeds from the event support tuition assistance for Bishop Kearney students.
