The 2025 Lehi Heritage Day Classic Car and Bike Show proved to be one for the record books, drawing more than 1,000 people and showcasing more than 50 gleaming vehicles.
“We had a great turnout, a lot of new cars, a lot of new participants,” said Ron Woolstenhulme, who co-chaired the show with his wife, Joell. “We had a good variety of cars, old and new. It made for a really great show.”
Held Labor Day at the Legacy Center, 123 N. Center St., the event featured a wide range of automobiles—from antique treasures to modern marvels—that had spectators reminiscing, snapping photos, and swapping stories.

A celebration of heritage
The car show was a highlight of Lehi Heritage Day, the historical society’s annual, city-sponsored celebration of the city’s past and present.
This year’s theme, “Speed, Spirit and Soul: Stanley Wanlass and the Artists of Lehi,” spotlighted world-renowned automotive artist and Lehi native Stanley Wanlass.
With chrome polished to perfection, roaring engines and artistry on display, the show not only highlighted remarkable vehicles but also honored the passion and history that fuel Lehi’s community spirit.
