A parade of cars, seen through the windshield and in the rearview
mirror of a 1939 Chevy truck, makes its way from Norfolk's Harbor
Park to Town Point Park on Saturday. The event, part of the Auto
Centennial Celebration, marked the 100th anniversary of the American
automobile industry. Pat Roe, a Pennzoil representative and a
sponsor of the event, estimated that 5,000 people turned out in the
rain to see about 250 cars, owned by members of Hampton Roads auto
clubs. The oldest car, a 1914 Model T Ford, led the parade.
Attendance was ``not bad considering the weather,'' Roe said. ``In
good weather, we could have had 25,000.'' by CNB
