Carriagetown Car Show started in 2016 when a committee got together with a crazy idea. Mayor Gray wanted to shut down the downtown for the day and fill the streets with awesome cars. Since the 2016 show, the show has grown and is something to see. In 2017, we had over 270 cars in the show and the town was buzzing with activity. In 2018, the show grew even more and we had over 340 vehicles in attendance.
We are so fortunate to have such a great committee that organizes and runs this event, year after year. The committee is made up of local business owners, educators, citizens and most importantly, car enthusiasts. Every single committee member has an antique car or truck, which can be found at the show every year. Whether is is a 1957 T-Bird, 1955 Nomad wagon, 1966 Corvette, 1967 Pontiac GTO, 1969 Chevy Camaro or a 1984 Chevy pick up, our committee takes pride in their vehicles. Most importantly, our committee takes pride in our show.
