FUTURE GENERATION INVITATIONAL Presented by the Stoll Collective

Encouraging our younger enthusiasts is a top priority for the MCACN team, as we want to welcome those who are getting into this awesome hobby. See everything from fully restored beauties to “in progress” project cars to cool daily drivers. Make a point of meeting the owners, as each and every one offers us all true inspiration, and assures us that the future of our hobby is shining bright.

The Nashnutz American group will again welcome an entirely new and fresh group of American Motors Muscle. You'll share in viewing rare and outstanding examples of AMC Muscle Cars, in a dealer/auto show themed display complete with some truly outstanding related memorabilia. This area has become one of the most popular features of the MCACN show!

Pick-A -Door - Four Door Invitational

This year we will host something entirely different that may even make you scratch your head. Our new Pick-A-Door Invitational will feature 4-door high performance cars. Not just any 4-doors, but cars that have extra doors and extra horsepower under the hood!
So in addition to this beauty, you will see 426 Hemi Mopars, Chevy's packing 427's under the hood, a Buick unlike any other and, well...you get the idea.

Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race Display Featuring Real Cars of the PSMCDR Group Hosted by Donnie Brass

We are pleased to announce the PSMCDR display will return with another all new group of cars. If you think that all the cars at our show are "Trailer Queens" you are in for a big surprise. See twelve of the fastest Muscle Cars that appear exactly as they left the assembly line....but with some rubber on the quarters! These show stoppers are used exactly as they were intended, and each is show ready. AMC, Buick, Chevy, Ford, Mopar, Oldsmobile and Mercury will all be represented

Muscle Cars & Muscle Bikes Presented by Koolestuff, Inc

We always like to keep things fresh, so this year for this "Show within the Show" that features a variety of Sting Rays, Krates, Spyders, Choppers and so many more, we will also have some prime BMX bikes from the 70's and 80's! (Malaise Era? lol) Of course, the primary spotlight will always be on the cool Muscle Bikes of '63-79, so if you own your childhood bike, whether restored or original, we'd love to see it and have you share the stories! This is a display only, no judging or competition to keep things light and to focus on the fun. Let's take a ride back in time and share our memories from the past!

Studebaker Legends Hosted by Ed George and the Studebaker Museum

You will never find a more dedicated group of enthusiasts than Ed George and his Studebaker friends. Ed returns to host a very special group of South Bends hottest, with an emphasis on the 60's supercharged models. This gathering continues to raise the bar for the high-performance Studebaker enthusiasts, and will certainly raise awareness of the many innovations that started long before what you may have thought. As always, this will be an entirely new group of these seldom shown cars that join us from across the country along with some neat interactive features.

Barn Finds and Hidden Gems Presented by Miller Auto Care Stock Restorations & Restomods

We launched our Barn Find/Hidden Gems display, hosted by The Automotive Archeologist, Ryan Brutt.

Expect to see the rare and unusual in this area, with a whole new group of off the radar cars!

CAMARO LEGENDS, Presented by Camaro

Camaro Legends is a standardized judging points system to objectively evaluate and recognize Camaros that have been restored to “as they left the factory and to a level intended by Chevrolet”. Legends judging is meant for those Camaros that are the highest level of restoration representing how an ideal car would have left the factory assembly line. Original components or those closest in appearance are what the Legends judges look for. Entry is strictly limited, and Pre-Qualification is required.

Vintage Mini Bike Special Display Presented by Koolestuff, Inc

We added another fun "Show Within a Show" with a special display of Vintage Mini-Bikes. With the excellent response, we decided to continue the fun. You will see Honda Mini Trails and CT70's, Yamaha Mini Enduro's, ‘Lil Indian, Ruttman and Rupp Mini Bikes and others. If you own a Vintage Mini Bike, please consider showing it at with us. This is just for fun with no judging.
