Duesenburg, Packard, Cord, Classics as defined by the Classic Car Club of America. Legendary as defined by car buffs and history! Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to experience these cars all under one roof. Representing the best of the 20’s 30’s and 40’s, this assemblage of classic automobiles define wealth and luxury during a period not always associated with such extravagances. This extraordinarily unique event combines rare automobiles on loan from some of the country’s most avid collectors, as well as art and fashion from the same era to complement and add context to this wonderful exhibit.

What is a Classic Car?

There are many ways to define the term “Classic Car.”  Here we are using the definition of the Classic Car Club of America, “…Fine cars or unusual motors which were built between and including the years 1925 to 1948.”

The cars have to be beautifully and distinctively designed, have excellent standards of engineering, and have the highest quality of workmanship and finishing.  The cars must have been expensive when first purchased and have low production numbers.  Not all the models of a particular brand qualify as “classics.”  Many of the brand names considered classics today are no longer produced and many defined as classics have unfamiliar names, such as Roamer, Marmon, Revere, and Dagmar.

What is very clear is that the classic cars you will see are a rare and impressive sight.
