Annual Traditional Hot Rods, Customs, and Motorcycle Show

The Gilmore Car Museum hosts its Annual Traditional Hot Rods, Customs, and Motorcycle Show, celebrating classic vehicles from the 1940s through early 1960s. You'll see authentically restored hot rods and motorcycles—no modern modifications here, just the genuine craftsmanship of yesteryear. The show also features a dedicated display area for big-finned, chrome-laden cars from the 1950s and '60s, giving families a chance to explore multiple generations of automotive style in one place. Entertainment runs throughout the event, with live bands performing at a Friday night pre-party and additional musical performances continuing into Saturday. It's a great outing for car enthusiasts of all ages and anyone who appreciates classic American automotive culture. The museum setting provides a fun, accessible way to spend time exploring these historic vehicles alongside live music and fellow enthusiasts.
