SOUTH PARIS —The Hamlin Memorial Library and Museum will hold its 37th annual Founder’s Day and Classic Car Exhibit Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 16 Hannibal Hamlin Drive in South Paris.

The showpiece of this charity event is The Bahre Collection of antique and classic cars.

The collection of over fifty vehicles includes an assemblage of Packards. The Packard collection features Dietrich V-windshield body styles and LeBaron V-windshield body styles on the Packard 12 chassis for 1932-34, the one-off front-wheel-drive prototype sedan, a 1906 Model S touring car and other specialty Packards.

The collection highlights American Classics such as Duesenbergs, V-16 Cadillac, Stutz, Graham-Paige and Auburn 12; foreign classics such as Delahaye, Isotta Fraschini, Hispano-Suiza, Mercedes-Benz and Alfa-Romeo; and an eclectic grouping of brass-era cars including two electric cars, a Tucker, a Harley-Davidson and later-model sports cars.

Along with the vehicles there is an antique doll and toy collection, horse-drawn carriages, player piano, old phonographs, table-top instruments and a jukebox.

Founder’s Day festivities include music, entertainment and a crafts fair. Donations for admission to The Bahre Collection are $10 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under. All proceeds from admissions will support the Hamlin Memorial Library and Museum.
