Sioux City Times

For the 50th year, the Sioux City Museum and Historical Association will host its annual car show. Vehicles ranging from the Model T to vintage roadsters will be on display at the Bill Diamond Antique & Classic Car Show on Sunday, July 9. The event is free and open to the public from 11 am to 3 pm on the grounds of the Sergeant Floyd River Museum & Welcome Center on the riverfront. This is a Show and Shine event; pre-registration is not required.

DJ Big Daddy from Classic Rock 99.5 will provide the music. Big Papa’s Grub on the Run food truck will have a variety of concessions available for purchase.

The Sioux City Museum and Historical Association’s car show debuted in 1970 on the grounds of the former site of the Sioux City Public Museum at the Peirce Mansion. Held in conjunction with a vintage automobile exhibit, the event proved to be so popular that it was continued and eventually moved down to its current location on the riverfront. The car show was renamed in 2004 to honor the event’s co-founder and long-time Museum director, Bill Diamond. Due to the conditions at the riverfront, the car show was canceled in 2012 and 2017; while the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 car show. Ironically, the car show was held during the year of the Missouri River Flood of 2011 but was postponed and relocated.

The Sergeant Floyd River Museum & Welcome Center is located at 1000 Larsen Park Road via I-29, exit 149 in Sioux City. For more information, contact the Sergeant Floyd River Museum and Welcome Center at (712)279-0198 or visit SiouxCityMuseum.org.
