MARION CAR SHOW
Here's our 2025 Best of Show winner - not one car, but SIX CARS won Best of Show!
The owner of these pristine cars is Dick Doty, he's pictured below with the Best of Show trophy and along side of him is Bill Kilpatrick from B&C Auto Restoration and Paint; our 2025 Title Sponsor and also again this year for 2026..
Here's what to expect for our 2026 show
The Best of Show trophy, our piece de résistance, is once again our crystal piston trophy; it's solid crystal and just over 10" high - a real show stopper of a trophy!
All pertinent information is listed on the show flier; but here's a recap....
A variety of food and brownie sundaes are available to purchase from our food vendors.
