The event shows how Michigan mining connects with iron, steel, and automobile industries

MARQUETTE -- Hundreds of people checked out some antique cars on Sunday.

It's the 23rd annual Antique Automobile exhibit at the Michigan Iron Industry Museum. The event shows how Michigan mining connects with iron, steel, and automobile industries. A total of 60 antique cars from the 1900s were exhibited.

"It's great to have the event in Marquette. It will bring in a lot of people to our area, and hopefully a lot of people here locally will get to enjoy it also," said Model A owner Donna Bjork.

People also got a history lesson by a Ford historian. They estimate more than 600 people attended.
