NEW MCACN MAGAZINE ON THE PRESSES AND NEW WEBSITE IS HOT!
The past several months have been extremely busy here at MCACN Headquarters. Along with hitting some great shows, we have been hard at work on our all new website and the new Annual Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals magazine. I am pleased to say that the magazine is now on the presses in preparation for mailing mid October and our website is getting updates nearly every day.
If you aren’t on our mailing list already, you can sign up now by clicking here; https://www.mcacn.com/car- show-guide-sign-up. Our magazine has 80 pages jam packed with features about all kinds of things we have in store for our fast approaching show. Premier Unveilings, (17 of them!) will kick things into gear at 9:30 am Saturday, November 17 and with well over 500 cars joining us from 30+ states and Canada, you are going to see a show that once again “raises the bar” for anyone into American Muscle and the finest and rarest Corvettes. Although the magazine has a lot in it, believe me when I say it is only the tip of the iceberg of what we actually have scheduled to join us.
No matter what make or model you lean toward, we have some truly incredible cars coming in. Of course the Rapid Transit System and Scat Pack Invitational display is a huge feature, but did you know we have FOUR LS6 Chevelle convertibles, the one-off Prototype 69 Hurst/Olds and the Prototype ‘70 Buick GSX,
an incredible 1965 World’s Fair Corvette chassis display,
not to mention ‘67, 68 and ‘69 L/88 Corvettes, along with special guest Tony DeLorenzo, the Sox & Martin S/S Barracuda and the Dick Landy S/S Dart, both the Green Hornet and the recently found Little Red Shelby Prototype’s, the largest gathering ever under one roof of Oldsmobile Ram Rods & W31’s along with original members of the Project W31 team, a full row of RS/COPO Camaro’s and well, that is literally just the beginning.
Being our Tenth Anniversary, this is a milestone year for us and we plan on celebrating in a big way. With your participation, whether you are a spectator, showing a car or are a vendor or all important Official Sponsor, you all play a key role in our continued success. Reading about the show in the magazines or online is great, but there is nothing like immersing yourself in the festivities. Where else can you see the cars, talk to the “who’s who” of our happy and share and hear the stories?
We hope you have already made plans to join us. If you need to secure lodging, we have availability at three of our fine Official Host hotels. (The DoubleTree and the Embassy Suites are now sold out). The Crowne Plaza, which is right across the street, has doubles or king rooms available now at our MCACN rate of $117.00*. This one was recently remodeled and they opened Bill Murrays Caddy Shack Restaurant and Bar just a few months ago; another great place to have fun!

ALL NEW WEBSITE; We are pleased to announce we have an all new and extremely easy to navigate website. Designed from the ground up by Ian, it does a great job of showing features and most importantly, answering questions. There are drop-down boxes that provide links to pages that cover just about everything. Please note the drop-down boxes are easily accessed by hovering over the red bar. Chances are, the answer to your question is covered, and if it isn’t you can directly e-mail us. We have online applications for cars and vendors, explanations of all of our judging categories, types of vendor spaces offered, photo galleries, lists of past show winners and much more. Since our phones are exceptionally busy this time of year and we don’t have much time to chat, please use the site whenever possible. It’s not that we don’t want to talk, it’s just the simple fact that there are only a few of us here, and we never have enough hours in the day to get the work done. Note; Bottom line regarding questions is that e-mail and text is always best, as Vicki always monitors both for me/BA.
VENDOR SPACE; Commercial A is Sold Out. We have limited availability in our center and rear halls, (Commercial B) at just $200.00 per 10 x 12’ spot. I do have a few wall spots! Must be automotive related; absolutely no head-set hawkers, home improvement, travel businesses or other non car related stuff, so please don’t ask! To submit your commercial B Vendor
