At least five states were represented at the 2012 Atlantic Northeast Meet & Car Show at Rock Hall Museum in Lawrence on Aug. 12.

Car aficionados from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and North Carolina attended the six-hour event to display their vintage Chevrolets and other vehicles. Approximately 200 people saw 36 Chevrolet vehicles judged and 20 other different makes and models were also on exhibit.

Nick Matlaga from Mt. Bethel, Pa. won Best in Show for a 4-cylinder car with his 1928 National Roadster. Jim Wood of Shirley took Best in Show for his 1959 Chevy Impala in the 8-cylinder division. Dave Bosley, also of the Keystone state, was Best in Show in the commercial category for his 1951 Chevy 3100 pickup truck, while Perry Goldberg of Glen Head won for historical preservation of his 1958 Bel Air.
