SHOW FORMAT

This is an invitation-only event. Vehicles may not be entered for two consecutive years. Vehicles are displayed by class. We had 14 classes last year. Awards include First Place per class, Special Awards, and Best of Show. Judging is not strict concours scoring but is based on overall presentation, condition, history, rarity, special features, and display. Information boards are welcome. Tasteful modifications are acceptable.

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are essential to the success of the show. Contact Matt Staelens – [email protected]

Approved entrants will receive additional event details prior to the show.

We look forward to hosting you at the 2026 Coal Dock Park Concours Car Show!
