On Thursday, August 17th, high-end sports cars, custom-built supercars, and rare exotics lined the streets of downtown Nyack for the village’s second Exotic Car Night event. Auto aficionados, car enthusiasts, and kids of all ages strolled this special summer evening celebration of vehicular “wow,” with many of the 5,000+ crowd arriving for the 5pm roll-in and lingering until 10pm.
Spanning Main Street between Franklin to Broadway, the event showcased a spectacular sampling of 160 high-performance and rare vehicles from Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and other top-flight makers, all on display for close-up viewing and great photo ops.
“Our first Exotic Car Night back in 2021 began as a collaboration between car enthusiasts and local businesses – a way to display beautiful cars for the public to enjoy, while supporting Nyack’s downtown, which was recovering from the pandemic at the time,” said Roger Cohen, President of the Nyack Chamber of Commerce. “Working with the community, we were able to create an evening where people could get out and enjoy what Nyack has to offer while surrounded by amazing cars.”
For this year’s event, the Chamber partnered with Montefiore Nyack Foundation as well as the local business community. The roster of supporters includes Congers Collision, Hudson Spectacles, Northern Racing Unlimited, RTN Race the North, R2M Realty, Inc., The Henry Food & Beverage Co., Torrent Motorworks, and the Village of Nyack.
“Nyack is the perfect setting for this show – a place where you can see and sample one-of-a-kind shops, specialty services, great dining…anything from the perfect gift, to the perfect meal to the perfect car, or at least a car to dream about,” said Mark Mangan, event manager. “It’s great to see people enjoying this show, life in Nyack, and everything our special village has to offer.”
