OXFORD – For many residents of the New York State Veterans’ Home in Oxford, it was a trip down memory lane as some of the area’s finest vehicles rolled into the parking lot Saturday for the nursing home’s 9th annual Cruise-in.

Troubling weather may have kept some participants from the yearly festivity, but all in all, it was a good turnout this year, said Cruise-In Coordinator Karen Wood. “Some people just don’t want to bring their car out if there’s a risk of bad weather,” she said. “But considering the weather, this went very well.”

Residents toured the parking lot, taking a look at auto makes and models from the earliest Ford Model T to the most contemporary Chevrolet Corvettes on the modern market and everything in between. The Cruise-In has certainly grown over the years, bringing in more than 90 vehicles this year and as many as 125 in 2010. It’s a big increase from the 25 vehicles organizers started out with in 2003, Wood said.
