While the weather held, all things went smoothly at the 7th Annual Bloomfield Township Classic Car Show at the Mercedes Benz dealership along Woodward Avenue.

"It's a perfect place to be, especially if you have kids, because you're out of the hectic zone and get to see everything you need to see," said Bloomfield Township Supervisor Leo Savoie.

"We've kept it real steady, it's not a huge event.It's a small event. It's low-key."
