Default “The Largest Consistently Run Car Show in the United States”

“The Largest Consistently Run Car Show in the United States”

Todd February 15, 2017 5,120 Views

Don’t miss the Scottsdale Car Shows at Talking Stick Pavilions every Saturday, year-round. There are no set hours for the event, but vehicles usually start rumbling in around 10 am. By 4 or 5 pm, the parking lot is usually stocked with hundreds of cars, from vintage classics to modern-day imports with coffee-can exhaust tips. Clusters of make/model and year form naturally. Cars come and go throughout the evening, and people start to head home around 9 pm.



The McDonald’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Car Show is the longest consistently run car show. The Rock and Roll McDonalds Classic Car show started over 25 years ago. It all began when two McDonalds employees were driving through Mesa when they noticed a group of classic cars parked outside a Carl’s Jr. Curious, they stopped to investigate. A friendly conversation with the car owners revealed that they were about to lose their parking-lot privileges at the Carl‘s Jr.



The two McDonalds employees convinced the car owners that the Scottsdale, Rock and Roll McDonalds, would be the perfect new destination for their classic cars. From that time on a Valley tradition was born.

On the very first Saturday night at the McDonalds, there were 10 or 12 cars. The second week, there were 20 cars. By the fifth Saturday, there were a hundred cars. Now an average night brings in anywhere from 250 to 500 cars and up to 150 motorcycles.



This family-fun event is the perfect destination to see classic cars and motorcycles in a FREE open air event. Complete with 50’s era music provided by “Party Time DJ’s”, this showcase of anywhere from 250 – 500 cars, and up to 150 motorcycles and choppers, is sure to satisfy collectors, dreamers, and aficionados, alike.

Who can claim title as America’s longest-running weekly car show? I have deleted the list of fake-o virus cancellations. It was all political.

Kissimmee, Florida, stakes its claim

By Larry Edsall-

June 9, 2020
8Kissimmee claims its weekly car show is the longest-running in the United States. Any challengers for that title out there? | PositivelyOsceola.com photoThe coronavirus pandemic has interrupted local weekly car shows from coast to coast, but things are opening up and PositvelyOsceola.com reports that when the Friday Muscle Car Show and Saturday Classic Car Show resume the weekend of June 12-13 in the Old Town section of Kissimmee, Florida, the tandem shows will maintain a claim to the title of “America’s Longest Running Weekly Car Show.”

If Kissimmee sounds familiar, it’s likely because you recognize it as the site for Mecum Auctions’ huge collector car sale each January. (Either that, or you’re a big fan of the Florida Fire Frogs minor league baseball team, or perhaps you’ve been to the community’s mouse-hosted theme park.)

“The shows have been a weekly tradition for over 30 years,” the website reports, adding that on June 13, “There will be a limited number of cars cruising at 4 p.m. to maintain the title of ‘America’s Longest Running Weekly Car Show’.”

But is “more than 30 years” really the longest-running such weekly gathering of collector cars in the country? Perhaps. But feel free to use the Comments section below to stake your local show’s claim to that title.

Meanwhile, in Kissimmee, social-distancing will be practiced as the weekly shows resume, and while there will be live music, the website notes, “dancing in front of the stage” has been temporarily suspended.

EyesOn plans Pop-Up cruise for Father’s Day
Just as in the 20201 event poster, your car can be photographed in front of the Ford House during Father’s Day 2020 ‘pop-up’ cruiseAlthough its’ annual concours has been canceled for 2020, EyesOn Design plans what it’s calling “A Father’s Day Pop-Up Event” for June 21.

Here’s the plan: Cruise along Lake Shore Drive between the War Memorial in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, and the Ford House in Grosse Point Shores between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. June 21 (click here to go to the registration form; there’s no charge to participate).

At the Ford House, enter the main (South) gate and drive to the main house where a professional photographer will be waiting to capture your car in front of the historic home of Edsel and Eleanor Ford. (You’ll exit via the North gate.)

After the event, EyesOn judges will select 16 vehicles to be judged via social media in a contest to select the “Car I Most Want to Cruise In.”

Goodguys set Hall of Fame road tours

“The time has come to lock in your spot,” the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association says, for its annual Hall of Fame Road Tours. Both tours begin this year in Salt Lake City, Utah, but each will have its own route to Fort Worth, Texas, and the 28th annual Lone Star Nationals.

Each route is open only to 50 vehicles. The Parks & Plaines Tour will visit such locations as Yellowstone and the Grand Teton, the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore, Carhenge, and a variety of garages and car museums. The Rocky Mountain Tour includes Yellowsone Park, the Garden of the Gods, a drive up Pikes Peak, Royal Gorge Bridge, and, of course, garages and car collections.

For details, visit the road tour website.

Las Vegas announces concours features

The second Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance is scheduled for October 23-25 in the new Las Vegas Ball Park in Summerlin and has announced the featured marque will be Cadillac, as well as celebrating 30 years of Lamborghini Diablo and — how much more Vegas could it get? — the cars of Elvis Presley.
All cars at the Orphan show earn a spot in the pass-in-review ceremony. In 2019, Ernie Brown drove away from the review stand with a trophy as the judges’ favorite Studebaker | Larry Edsall photo

Default 55th anniversary for Maine’s longest running car show Antique Auto Days

55th anniversary for Maine’s longest running car show




Antique Auto Days on July 20 and 21
Kate Steed, Boothbay Railway Village
Tue, 07/16/2019 - 8:00am

Antique Auto Days draws on a New England audiences, where vintage, antique, hot rods, muscle cars and more all parked on the Village Green and another 50-plus vintage autos are permanently showcased in the Auto Museum. Photo by Bob CrinkDuring the 55th anniversary of Antique Auto Days on July 20 and 21, drivers, their passengers and all visitors to The Village will have close-up views of over one hundred visiting classic, vintage, antique, hot rods, muscle cars and more all parked on the Village Green at the Boothbay Railway Village. Plus, visitors are welcome to tour the Village’s Auto Museum, where another 50-plus vintage autos are permanently showcased.

In the fifty-five years since the first Auto Days, when 15 cars participated in 1964, Antique Auto Days has grown into a much larger show featuring a hundred or more cars of all makes and models on the Museum’s Village Green. Many consider the Parade the highlight of the weekend, as the autos drive through Boothbay Harbor, on their second day of the event, departing the museum at 2 p.m. Guests are encouraged to visit the show before then, as many of the cars depart directly for home after the parade.

Anyone owning a classic, antique, hot rod, muscle car, rat rod or other cool vehicle is invited to show it off on the Village Green on July 20 and 21. Every collector car pays $10 for the event, for one vehicle on both days, and includes the driver plus one passenger. Others in the car are $5 each, and children under 3 are free. Car owners receive free admission to the Museum and a commemorative dash plaque. A People’s Choice trophy will also be awarded.
