The annual D.C. show is more about just the art that goes into cars that span about 50 years, from the 1930s through the 1980s. The club honors a part of the U.S. military each year.

WASHINGTON — “It’s like seeing a bucket of Skittles.”
That’s how Ron Pemberton of the Unity Thunder car club describes the scene on the floor of the D.C. National Guard Armory during his club’s seventh-annual car show.
Customizers from all over the east have converged on Stadium Armory for this event.
“They love ‘em.’ It’s a passion,” says Pemberton. “The car colors are just through the rainbow. Everything you can imagine, it’s on the floor.”
The annual show is more about just the art that goes into cars that span about 50 years, from the 1930s through the 1980s.
The club honors a part of the U.S. military each year.
And this year?
“We’re specifically honoring the women who have served in the military,” Pemberton says.
A portion of the proceeds from this weekend’s car show will go to some groups that serve women in the military – both veterans and active duty.
Several groups will also have representatives present on Saturday to offer military women advice and services.
One such group benefiting from Unity Thunder’s car show is “Women Veterans Rock.”
It helps women vets with leadership education, turning military experience into civilian applications.
The Unity Thunder car show continues at the D.C. National Guard Armory on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., then Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
