I'm having a 2nd home currently built just north of there so frequent the area often. Here are a few that might be of interest. Sarasota one might be a little far, Venice isn't to bad of a drive but the Punta Gorda one is right up Hwy 75. But you can do 80mph(70 is the actual speed limit) just about the entire way on 75 so even a 60-70min drive can be somewhat reasonable. Might be something going on in Ft. Meyers which would be the closest to you.

-25 Aug (Sat) - 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (Last Saturday of ea. Month) Open Cruise In @ Home Depot Parking Lot, 3941 Tamiami Trail/Burnt Store Road, Punta Gorda FL. Presented by the VINTAGE MOTOR CAR CLUB OF AMERICA, SW FLORIDA REGION. No pre-registration or fees. Open to any year, make or model car/truck or motorcycle. Free OJ, Coffee, Donuts and Ice Water for the first ½ Hour! to show participants. Door prizes, 50/50. Info Lee Royston (941) 626-9359

It's not a car show but more of a museum if the mood should strike during your stay.

On Saturday, August 25th, is the rescheduled (from May) Corvettes at the Pier in St. Pete. Should be about 150+ Corvettes in attendance and maybe worth the drive up from Naples.
