So many of our guests, fans and friends drive and maintain original cars from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, that we decided to give them a chance to show them off. For the first time ever, Tiki Kon presents a vintage car show as part of our weekend event! We want to see your classic-style mod rods, both foreign and domestic. You know...the Mad Men era vintage dream cars from the "modern" era that you've painstakingly restored, found or inherited. If you own one, arrive at Tiki Kon in style! The show will be held in a section of the Red Lion parking lot and includes a beer garden.
Sponsored by North American Muscle Cars and Mobile West.
Free, all ages (except beer garden), open to the public
