In a picturesque downtown setting, cars of all makes and models fill the streets and surround a lake. There are a stunning array of concours rarities mixing it up with modern street machines and vintage muscle cars. In its 19th year, the MidFlorida Auto Show & Lake Mirror Concours takes over Lakeland, Florida, for three days of automotive enjoyment, which ran from October 19-21 this year.

Ranging from a Hot Rod Rendezvous on Friday night to 50-mile road rally on Sunday, its events are headlined by the big show on Saturday. Since the MidFlorida event began it has garnered support from a host of local businesses, but the enthusiasts at National Parts Depot have supported it the whole way. As such, its owners Jim and Rick Schmidt served as Honorary Chairmen for the 2018 iteration.
