About this event
One of Michigan's largest car shows featuring thousands of classic cars, street rods, and muscle cars.
What to Expect
- 1.Arrive early and plan for a full day outdoors at Heritage Park. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water; you'll be on your feet most of the day.
- 2.You'll see thousands of classic cars, street rods, and muscle cars parked in display rows and along the park paths; take your time and zoom in on details like engines, interiors, and paint.
- 3.The crowd is friendly and curious about fellow car fans, so you can chat at booths or with nearby enthusiasts if you want to.
- 4.Food and drink options exist on site, but lines can get long around peak hours; consider bringing a small snack or planning meals to avoid the rush.
- 5.Parking and navigation can be a maze at a large park, so grab a map at the entrance and plan your route to must see cars; give yourself extra time for walking from where you park.
