We have no vehicle restrictions. Our show is open to all years, makes, and models of cars, trucks, tractors. and motorcycles/side-by-sdes.

No. If you are no longer able to register on-line, this means we have closed down pre-registrations. You will only encounter this if you attempt to register on-line between July 1st and the show date. You can still show up for the event and register in person the day of the show.

QUESTION:

I pre-registered and am bringing another car than I listed. Is that ok?

ANSWER:

Yes, your vehicle pre-registration guarantees your spot at the event regardless of the vehicle you have registered. If you need to change your vehicle, we request that you email us at CoatesvilleCarShow@gmail.com so it is documented. You need to be sure to include the new vechicle information (year, make, model) in your email. We are no longer able to change your goody bag materials and absorb the associated cost by doing so (omly applies if the foody bag has already been prepared). Therefore, your goody bag will most likely contain all the materials for the original vehicle that was entered. By emailing us, we will inform registration so they can mark it on their records. You will just need to let them know when you check in and they will provide you a new vehicle placard.

QUESTION:

Can I transfer my registration to someone else if already I pre-registered and paid and can no longer make it to the show?

ANSWER:

QUESTION:

Do you offer show discounts?

ANSWER:

No, we do not offer discounts. However, at times we may offer a pre-registration incentive on the day of the show for next year’s show. When these incentives are offered, they are for a very limited period and are not repeated a second time. If a special is offered post-show, it is usually only for a week or two at the end of the year around the major holiday season.

QUESTION:

I just want to come and park my classic car in the show area, but I don't want to register or be in competition for an award. Can I do that?

ANSWER:

Sorry, but no, we do not allow that. We are very limited on space and need every space possible for paid entrants. For that reason, we are not able to allow vehicles that want to show and display only into the show area. Any vehicle without a windshield placard displayed once registration has closed will be asked to remove their vehicle from the show area.

QUESTION:

Can I show my car at the show and offer it for sale as long as I pay the entry fee.

ANSWER:

Absolutely, we have no problem with that. We just ask is that you do not place "For Sale" signs on any of the windows of the vehicle. If offering a vehicle for sale, please place your "For Sale" sign on the seat inside the vehicle.
