About this event
Classics on Main Street
Presented by Hagerty
Join us for a morning of classic cars and coffee in downtown Forest Grove! Due to the cancellation of the Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance at Pacific University this year, we invite classic car owners to display their cars on Main Street and participate in a optional driving tour to the Brothers Collection Museum in Salem. Raise money for great causes and preserve the tradition of classic cars in Forest Grove in July. We will have room for 75 cars.
Sponsors: Hagerty, Charvet Classics, 503 Motoring, Sports Car Market
Event Details:
Classics on Main Street Cars and Coffee: Exhibit your collector car in historic downtown Forest Grove on Sunday July 18th from 8AM to noon. Main Street and 21st Avenue will be blocked and reserved for classic cars. Automobiles are entered for display-only. Coffee and pastries will be provided for car owners courtesy of our sponsors. Bring your pre-1974 classic or collector automobile and see a wonderful array of cars. Proceeds benefit Rotary Club scholarships and community service programs. Entry Fee: $15 per car.
Tour to the Brothers Collection Museum: Drive your classic car on a tour to see the Brothers Collection Museum in Salem! The Brothers Collection features 350 cars on display, including American muscle, European sports cars, race cars, and exotics. The collection is likely the preeminent muscle car collection in the world. Your entry fee on the tour will include a buffet lunch at the museum, and a donation to the Brothers Collection preferred charity, the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley. The tour is limited to 50 cars due to space and catering limitations. Entry fee: $150 per car with two people (includes cars and coffee above).
