Street rod enthusiasts from throughout the East Coast will bring their colorful cars to Ocean City this weekend.

They will display their vehicles on the Boardwalk and at the Fifth Street Parking Lot during the 35th annual Shore Rod Run.

Cars will be parked at the Fifth Street lot (between the Boardwalk and the Ocean City Sports and Civic Center) from Friday afternoon (Sept. 7) to 1 p.m. Sunday (Sept. 9). There will be a Boardwalk display on Saturday (Sept. 8) from noon to 4 p.m.
 
A street rod is any car manufactured in 1972 or earlier that has been modified with more modern parts. Owners are creative about how they enhance their vehicles and often decorate them with colorful, painted designs.
