What a way to celebrate 20 years of Cruisin Ocean City! Four days of beautiful weather, over 3,000 Hot Rods, Customs, Classics and Trick Trucks cruisin the streets of Ocean City and so much more!

Lots of car shows and vendors were at the Convention Center Parking Lot and the Inlet Parking Lot, plus several more car shows took place at various business locations in Ocean City and West Ocean City including Harley Davidson of Ocean City, Hooters, Gold Coast Mall, the Town of Berlin and more. There were more than 400 awards selected by various businesses, town representatives, community leaders, event sponsors and others given out over the 4 days.

Some of the top national names in the country were on display at Manufacturer Midway located at the Inlet including AAA Mid-Atlantic, Billet Specialties, Dynomax Exhausts, Flaming River, Ford Racing, Jasper Engines and Transmissions, Jax Wax, Meguiar's, Miller Electric, Performance Automatic, Royal Purple, Spectre Performance, Steele Rubber and Summit Racing. Others that were showcased at the Convention Center include Uncommon Flagpole and VP Racing Fuels.

To help celebrate the 20th Annual Cruisin Ocean City, Henry Winkler, the "Fonz", was there! Henry signed autographs, posed for pictures and even signed and raffled off a banner that raised $2,000 for the American Cancer Society!

Friday night, from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame "The Four Tops" along with the Funsters rocked the OC Convention Center.

Another feature activity held in conjunction with this year's Cruisin was the Express Auctioneer's Hot Rod and Muscle Car Auction on Friday at the Convention Center. Close to 100 Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Classics and Trick Trucks went across the auction block while the excitement built as bidders and spectators looked on.

The shows are to air on the Fox Sports Network June 6, 2010 for the Mother's Car Show and August 22, 2010 for the Lokar Car Show. Other National media activities included the Street Rodder Road Tour, the Street Rodder Top 100 and Street Rodder Magazine event coverage.
