The Henry Ford will host Old Car Festival, America’s longest-running antique car show, in Greenfield Village, Sept. 12-13. Powered by Hagerty, Old Car Festival attracts hundreds of vehicles from the 1890s through 1932, where American history comes alive in a perfect setting, event officials stated in a press release.
Marking the 75th anniversary of Old Car Festival, The Henry Ford says that it will celebrate this milestone by honoring the people, traditions and motor vehicles that have defined this event for three-quarters of a century. Guests can walk through the village, meeting owners who have preserved their vehicles while listening to the distinctive sounds of century-old cars.
The experience includes the Pass-in-Review Car Parade and an awards showcase featuring the best restored and unrestored cars, immersive historic vignettes, special demonstrations and more.
The antique car show brings Ragtime America and the Jazz Age to life with two days of historically inspired street food, music, dancing and activities. Saturday evening features the Gaslight Parade of Cars, the River Raisin Ragtime Revue, and a Dixieland-style procession.
Old Car Festival will be open on Saturday, Sept. 12, until 9 p.m., and operate on regular Greenfield Village hours on Sunday, Sept. 13. This special event is free for members and included with Village admission.
