The Downtown West Allis Classic Car Show is an annual classic car show held in West Allis, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. The show is typically held in early October. It takes place on Greenfield Avenue in downtown West Allis between 70th and 76th streets, and also includes small portions of those cross streets.[1][2][3] In addition to the cars on display, the show features activities for children (including Hot Wheels model car races), food vendors, live music, and raffles.[1][2]
