A classic car, on display as part of a weekly promotion at Lincolnton's Fatz Cafe on East Main Street, tried to create a drive-thru Tuesday night around 8pm.

The car hit the east side of the restaurant, breaking a window and pushing part of the building in about six inches according to city police officer Brandon Hunsucker.

No injuries were reported in the incident, which remained under investigation as of Tuesday evening.

The building inspector was called in to be sure the building was structurally sound. The restaurant was not evacuated as a result of the incident.
