Event Description

Here at Carolina Classics at the Capital we’ve spent the last few months tweaking, revising and, in some cases, reinventing our model for what’s fast becoming one of the most popular classic car shows in the Southeast.  Last August, an estimated 40,000 people flooded the streets of Downtown Raleigh to see hundreds of beautiful cars and trucks on display.  More than 7,000 of them paid to tour the exhibits and vendor areas inside the Raleigh Convention Center, and our goal in 2012 is to convert more of those attendees into customer prospects for our vendors and sponsors.

NEW FOR 2012:  One contiguous show footprint, indoors and out!  All spectators will pay to enter.

NEW FOR 2012:  Vendors can choose indoor or outdoor spaces!  Same price.  First-come, first-served.

NEW FOR 2012:  Reduced indoor pricing for all cars!  Bright, air-conditioned and secure all weekend.

What hasn’t changed is the great downtown atmosphere in North Carolina’s centrally located capital city.  We’ll still have huge crowds, live oldies music, radio station broadcasts, TV coverage, conveniently located restaurants, bars and hotels, and the Friday Night Cruise-In (free to classic car participants!)

Find out more—and register early for best display slots—at www.classicsatthecapital.com.  And mark your show calendar for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 17-19, 2012 in Downtown Raleigh!

A Judge’s View from Pinehurst: Sandhills Motoring Expo 2026 by Mike Thies

The 2026 Sandhills Motoring Expo Concours in the Village was one of those days that reminds you why we do this. Held Sunday, May 24, in the historic Village of Pinehurst, the event brought together more than 130 judged automobiles representing over 40 manufacturers, and from this judge’s point of view, it was a first-class field, a well-run operation, and a genuinely enjoyable day with owners who were proud to…
