The event at The Carriage House pub and restaurant has become an annual pilgrimage for people who love to see, touch and smell old cars.
And they were not disappointed by this year's turnout of dozens of vehicles, gleaming in the evening sunlight.
Neither were the organisers, a small group of enthusiasts from the Transpennine Transport Heritage Society.
They are an offshoot of the Historic and Commercial Vehicles Society, who meet regularly at The Station in Stalybridge, even though their numbers are dwindling.
Spokesman Tony Whalley, said: "It surpassed all our expectations.
"No-one books in so we never know who is going to turn up and this week surprised us all.
"There were far too many vehicles to get on the pub car park, which is very big, and we had them parked up and down the roadside for a mile in either direction.
"People come along just to admire the cars and enjoy a run out on a summer's evening."
There were some classic examples of British cars, led by a Bentley worth an estimated £500,000 and an original E-type Jaguar.
They parked up alongside vehicles such as an Austin A34, a 1934 Morris Minor and a Ford Anglia.
There were also trucks and buses and a classic racing car, which was used by the former Huddersfield stock-racing champion Stu Bamforth.
Mr Whalley said: "Everyone has a different idea about what makes a classic car.
"I liked the 1926 Dodge from the United States that we had this year; it was like something out of a Twenties gangster film."
