We will begin our time together on Thursday evening, with a garden party at our host hotel. Cocktails will kick off at 6:00 with our delicious buffet starting around 6:30. Meet up with old friends and make new ones. 

Registration Packets will be available from 3:00pm when check-in at the hotel begins and will remain available until dinner wraps up.

Breakfast is included each morning as a guest of the hotel so get your caffeine fix and be ready for a special day together.

We will plan to roll out together starting at 9:00. Our CARavan of Full Classics will make our way to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Located at Wright-Patterson Air Force base, this is the world’s largest aviation museum. We will park together in a reserved area of the lot and take some group photos. 

From their web site:

The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force galleries present military aviation history, boasting more than 350 aerospace vehicles and missiles on display – many rare and one-of-a-kind – along with thousands of historical items and powerful sensory exibits that bring history to life and connect the Wright Brothers’ legacy with today’s stealth and precision technology. 

We will enjoy a private, catered luncheon in the Cold War Gallery of the museum. A portion of our luncheon fees will go towards supporting the museum.

Following our luncheon, guests will have the option to CARavan to an exclusive visit to the nearby British Transportation Museum, or make your own way to any of a long list of historic sites in the area. 

Friday night, we invite all our participants for a free Street Taco Buffet in the Ballroom Foyer of our hotel. This is compliments of ORCCCA. If you prefer to go out on for the evening, there are a lot of great restaurants in the area.

Our Saturday Grand Classic will be held in the incredible Carillon Historical Park. This park parallels the Ford Greenfield Village of Dearborn, MI and is simply delightful. This is a 65-acre, open-air museum with exhibits including the oldest American-built locomotive, a 1930s print shop, an historic village with period demonstrations like candle-dipping, musket-firing, blacksmithing, and so much more. 

To make things easy for our vehicle owners, we will have delicious boxed lunches available for purchase (must be pre-ordered) to be delivered to your vehicle on the show field. What could be more convenient?

The Awards Banquet will be held at America’s Packard Museum. This is the largest public collection of Packard Motor Car Company automobiles and memorabilia in the U.S. A portion of our fees for dinner will be in support of the museum.

No need to worry about driving yourself to the museum. Hop aboard our private shuttle starting at 5:45 in front of our hotel. Rides will be available throughout the evening to and from the hotel.

Cocktail hour will begin at 6:00 with private access to the entire museum throughout the evening.

A spectacular, catered dinner buffet will begin at 7:00 with a dessert extravaganza being served at our tables during awards.

From the Packard museum site:

The largest artifact at America’s Packard Museum is the building itself. The Citizen’s Motorcar Company was founded in Cincinnati in 1906. In 1917, it opened a location at 420 South Ludlow Street in Dayton, in a building designed by Dayton architect Albert Pretzinger in the style of Albert Kahn. The building cost $80,000 and was built to be completely fireproof. This was not a dealership. Rather, as a distributorship, Packard Motor Car Company sold its vehicles directly to the public in Dayton.
