Show Background

To combine our love for cars and veterans by creating a premier car show based in our backyard of London, Ohio.  We attend many shows that are disorganized, or bad locations, poor sound and various other problems. We've adopted the 'attendee' viewpoint and strive to put all those concerns first in our planning to put on a great show for a great cause.

Veterans from all eras of service have many unfulfilled needs. Emotional, physical, housing, addictions, mental health, and career training just to name a few! There are many businesses, groups, organizations and foundations out there fighting this battle daily. We have two primary goals with our show, raise awareness - and raise funds to assist their noble works. We've not adopted one single charity, but intend to 'spread it around' to different groups annually. Its also a day to say THANK YOU to those vets that join us!

Our host - the Buckeye Ford parking lot has paved parking for over 100 cars (which we fill!) in addition there is grass parking available. There are  indoor bathrooms and a small lounge to get out of the heat.  We computer print out your Window Cards, have dash plaques, door prizes, food and a pro Car Show DJ.  Our judges give awards running from full color plaques to glass and crystal.  Put it all together; Saturday in a small town  in July with some great attendees and you've got all the ingredients to have a great car show! Yes there are a lot of shows, but we do hope you'll give us a try!

We will be awarding top 30 awards because  about 30% of the cars can typically rise to the top of a show. These are not participation trophies, and not everyone should get one! There are few specialty awards, like our Founders Favorite, and Veteran owned. The DJ and Corporate Sponsor will also present awards, and for 2025 we've added best Truck and Motorcycle.   We will have a Best of Show, but our People's Choice is a true tally of attendees and spectators votes for their favorite car on show day, and in our opinion that's the highest honor bestowed to an owner! In addition the first 100 registrants also receive dash plaques and door prize tickets.
