We Welcome SPARK AUTOMOTO as our Official Presenting Sponsor!
Everything in Life Begins With a Spark...that is the motto for something entirely new in our car community. If you were with us at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show last year, you saw the beautiful American Flag draped semi in the rear of the "big" room, with a stellar lineup of five '66 Shelby GT 350's flanking a show-stopping and very real 427 Cobra. That was the kick off to something much bigger for both Spark Automoto and MCACN.
From their new website: Spark Automoto is more than a museum. It is an archive of ambition — a curated testament to the engineers, designers, and drivers who refused to accept ordinary. From the raw thunder of American muscle to the surgical precision of European supercars, every vehicle here earned its place.
With locations in Costa Mesa, California, Dubois, Pennsylvania and Sedona, Arizona, the collection ranges from the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen to numerous examples of prime American Muscle with a strong emphasis on Shelby and Ford, (but not limited to those!) There is an emphasis on design, quality and the impact these vehicles have had on America. Both vintage and modern muscle is well represented and in keeping with a theme of passion and diversity, there are some gorgeous street rods, some over the top Supercars, luxurious examples of incredibly prestigious cars and so much more. It is clear that the collection was built with passion.
We are truly honored to have Spark Automoto as our new Presenting Sponsor. It is clear that they share the passion and enthusiasm that we have, not only for American Muscle, but for the hobby we all love. We have some really neat things in the works with the Spark Automoto team and they will have a beautiful display in the center of the "Big" room featuring ten significant automobiles and more. Please help us in welcoming Spark Automoto and be sure to meet Jeff, Ryan and the team who love to share the collection, especially with our younger enthusiasts.
Sponsorship is a key ingredient to the ongoing success of what we do.
We are proud to have the BEST automotive auction company, Mecum Auctions, as our Title Sponsor, the BEST automotive transportation company, Reliable Carriers, as our Official Carrier and of course speaking of the best, we have Coker Tire as our Official Tire company, Titan Lifts as our Official Lift supplier, Trailex as our Official Trailer company and the best Wealth Management Company, RBC Wealth Management and the absolute "best of the best" award winning Muscle Car restoration shops as Official Sponsors. .

And that's just a sampling and we will be talking about our other awesome Official Sponsors over the next several months.
