Summer cruise-in delights car enthusiasts

On Tuesday night, classic and exotic cars of all shapes and sizes showed up at Riverhead Beach for the monthly Marblehead Cruise-In.

What started a few years ago as just a group of friends showing off their cars has developed into a town-wide event. 

“This is our third year doing them,” said Nick Parente, one of the organizers of the Cruise-in. “It seems to get bigger every time we do it.” 

This event allows Marblehead’s car community to come together in new ways. Parente says the variety is impressive.

“I think the cool thing about it is there’s just such a mix of everything,” said Parente. “We’ve got brand new stuff, exotic cars, old muscle cars,and old four-by-fours.” 

The Cruise-in showcased many types of cars from different eras of American history. 

“I consider it a rolling museum,” said Peter Iachapelle, the owner of a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500. “It’s definitely a part of our American culture.”
