Das Awkscht Fescht Rolls Out of Town Sunday

The classic car festival celebrated 50 years this summer.

The 50th annual Das Awkscht Fescht—one of the largest classic and antique car shows in the country—wraps up Sunday at Macungie Memorial Park. 

This year's featured car is the Buick, as the three-day festival pays homage to the cars of yesteryear. Thirty-four car clubs will showcase more than 1,000 vintage cars on Sunday.
