Pre-75 Orphan Marques Car Show
Rare pre-1975 cars on display at Gilmore Car Museum.
Bring the family to celebrate some of automotive history's most fascinating forgotten marques! This car show honors the legendary brands that once dominated the roads—from Pierce-Arrow and Auburn to Pontiac, Austin Healey, and MG—spanning vehicles made between 1900 and 1975. You'll see beautifully preserved examples of these distinctive cars and learn the stories behind the craftsmanship that made them special. It's a wonderful way to explore a chapter of car culture that doesn't always get the spotlight.
Whether you're a lifelong car enthusiast or just curious about vintage automobiles, there's something here for everyone. If you'd like to showcase your own pre-1975 orphan marque, you can register online ahead of time for $30, which covers your vehicle's entry plus admission for you and a guest. Registration on the day of the event runs $35. Spend the afternoon discovering these automotive treasures and connecting with fellow fans who appreciate the history and innovation behind these iconic vehicles.
