Join Us, September 21, 2024, for the 2nd Annual St. Michaels Classic in St. Michaels
The Classic Motor Museum of St. Michaels is excited to announce the second annual St. Michaels Classic on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at its Marengo Street campus in St. Michaels.
This all-day, family-friendly event celebrates the rich heritage of automobiles produced by American and International manufacturers. The juried event will showcase classic automobiles owned by car enthusiasts who live in St. Michaels and the greater Eastern Shore. In addition to a fabulous car competition, there will be food, music and even an art show. “There will be something for everyone,” according to Mike Iandolo, CMM Board Member.
Five local artists will display paintings that capture the heritage and beauty of vintage automobiles,work trucks and classic racing cars.
All attendees to the Classic will have the opportunity to view and purchase paintings by Naomi Clark-Turner, Michael Iandolo, Mark Montoya, Walter Urbanek, and Stephen Walker. The gallery will be hosted in the Pinkett House from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm on the grounds of the museum. A portion of the sales will go to the Classic Motor Museum of St Michaels.
Vehicles have been carefully selected and vetted to participate in the St. Michaels Classic. They will be organized into the following class categories: Prewar, European, American Muscle, Performance, 4×4, and Preservation.
“The event will showcase the incredible automobile excellence found on the Eastern Shore,” Iandolo added. “We have some surprises planned that you will not want to miss.”
The judging panel will select Best in Show and the Best in Class awards. The general public will vote on the People’s Choice Award. The public is invited to attend, and tickets for the day-long event will be available that day for $15. This price includes entrance to the show, the Museum and an event program.
Board President, Tad du Pont, agrees. “St. Michaels has long attracted boating enthusiasts to experience its rich maritime history. The Museum has now added another dimension to the town’s attractions through its St. Michaels Classic car show series”.
The Museum is currently raising funds to purchase 906 S. Talbot Street. A neglected service station at the entrance to St. Michaels. They intend to renovate it so that it is a welcoming gateway to the town, convert it to a hands-on classroom for their automotive technician apprenticeship program and use it to create and enhance Museum exhibits.
