tarted in 1962, the Rockville
Antique and Classic Car Show
has been the premier nonjudged
automotive event of the D.C.,
Maryland, and Virginia (DMV)
region. The show is presented by
the Mayor and Council of Rockville
and consists of 32 regional car
clubs, which for 2022 meant over
625 vehicles on display ranging
from classic Fords to vintage
Ferraris, and antique Rolls-Royces
to historic Range Rovers. At this
year's show, two anniversaries were
celebrated -- 60 years since the
inception of the show itself and the 50th anniversary of BMW M.
Given the significance of BMW M's 50th anniversary, James Laws, a
Rockville show committee member and Vice President of BMW CCA's
National Capital Chapter, made the suggestion that this year's Special
Display Group should celebrate
BMW M. The committee agreed and
Laws set to work making it a reality.
Laws has been representing the BMW
community on the show's committee
for the last seven years and has been
attending the event for nearly 30. He
recalls, " I remember taking my son
for the first time when he was twelve,
so I've been going for 28 years. " His
son continues the tradition now
bringing and showing his own vehicles
at the event.
Laws describes the Special
Display Group as a " once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. " This year's group, consisting solely of BMWs that, in
some way, shape, or form, have been influenced by BMW's M division, was
positioned at the show's center with the event field's terrain forming a natural
amphitheater around the automotive gems. Deviating from the norm, the
