“It went very well. We did good numbers for the NYPD fallen heroes children and widows fund,” he told Brooklyn Paper. “It was a very nice turnout and a beautiful day.”

Over 100 cars and a dozen motorcycles parked along the street — ranging in color, make and model. From Cadillacs, Chevys, to Fords and Harleys, attendees were treated to only the best whips.
