Before Rosh Hashana arrives in September and while the summer sun is still shining bright in the sky, car enthusiasts from all over the state will be filing into the local area to take part in some of the coolest car shows in the state. Whether you have a love for the classics, luxury cars, muscle cars or even the rare oddities that are occasionally found roaming the roadways, you are sure to find a car you love at one of the upcoming Oregon shows during these late summer days.
Be sure to mark your calendar for these great events!
With quite a few shows coming up soon, car owners are encouraged to contact show hosts for information on registration fees and how to ensure your car is entered in time for the show. For those who live outside the local area and want to bring your car, you may want to contact a local auto transporter to have it delivered safely and on time for the show. If you live close, you can always drive right in, especially if you plan to participate in a local cruise-in.
