Nostalgia was in the air at the first-ever Antique Day at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, where car collectors brought their classic cars, trucks, race cars, and hot rods, some that were over 100 years old.

Like old cars? Take a gander at the classics that were brought out for the event.

Craig Hess brought his 1955 MG TF 1500.

A 1940 Pontiac Town and Country.

A yellow 1957 Ford Thunderbird.

This Kaiser Willys Jeep from 1967 owned by Bob Bowes, of Nantasket, was among many old cars in the new David O. Russell movie that filmed locally, “American Hustle.’’ The film takes place in the 1970s.

“I practically ran Christian Bale over a dozen times,’’ Bowes said, adding that it was in the script.

The red interior of a 1959 Chevy.

Tyler Deloia, of Milford, posed with his grandfather’s restored 1948 Plymouth, which he has owned for over 30 years.

A Franklin from 1930. The manufacturer stopped making cars in 1934.

Jack Lane, of Franklin, dusted off his 1951 Ford “Plain Jane,’’ which he bought from the original owner and said has all original chrome.

The car is the same one Lane owned when he was young, he said. Driving it “feels just like when I was a kid.’’

Steve Pini, of Wakefield, with his 1954 Chevy. He also owns a 1932 Plymouth, but said he brought this car because it was “a little more road-worthy.’’

A 1948 Willys Jeepster.

A 1973 Plymouth Barracuda.

An emerald green 1934 Hudson Eight LT Special Convertible Coupe.

A 1956 Ford pickup truck owned by Ken Moriello, of West Roxbury, which he’s had for 40 years.

How’s it drive? “Fast and loud,’’ he said.

A Ford Model T from 1911 owned by Bob Richards, of Wellesley, which he found in a family barn and restored.

In order to drive the car, Richards had to learn how to manage the three different pedals— for braking, reversing, and a clutch — along with having the gas lever on the steering column.

A Studebaker from 1932.

A 1959 red Vespa owned by John and Shirley Jacobson (pictured inside). John said he used to import the cars, and always wanted his own after they stopped making them in 1961.

Al Robinson brought his 1957 sky blue Ford Thunderbird, which he got in 1974 after it had an interior fire. It took him two years to completely restore the car.

A rare Ford Model A.

Another 1956 Ford.

A 1927 Fort T Coupe.

David Daoust of Stratham, N.H., said he wanted to own his own Ford Super Deluxe like this 1947 model since he saw one in “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.’’

“I thought, ‘Boy, if I could ever own a car like that,’’’ he said.

A classic Cadillac.

A sleek Stingray Corvette.
