Make the most of a classic car show

 

As the weather warms, you’re likely to start seeing announcements for classic car shows in our the Central Ohio area, actually Delaware is having theirs this weekend.  The Vintage Auto Club is hosing their "Blast from the Past" car show.  All proceeds go to the Ohio Health Hospice Delaware.  Be sure to stop out and see these beautiful vehicles.

These automotive events are a great way to kick start your weekend or vacation. Classic car shows are held all across the country, from small rural towns to large metropolitan areas, and they draw classic car enthusiasts from near and far.
 

Some people attend classic car shows as spectators to check out unique and rare vehicles. Others go to connect with fellow car buffs or to show off their prized possession. And some attend shows to shop or to sell. 

Whether you’re planning to shop, sell, show, or just go, here are some tips for making the most of a classic car show. 

·         Family fun. Larger classic car shows typically feature entertainment, food vendors, raffles and more. Bring the whole family for a day of fun.

·         Plan. Take note of the event schedule, plan before you go, and make sure you’re aware of the hours for check-in.

·         Be the early bird. If you’re entering your automobile in a competition, sign up early. Most are limited to a certain number of entries, and it’s usually first come, first served.

·         Know the value.  If you are planning to sell or buy, you must be well versed on the value of the vehicle and the market conditions. Buying or selling a car—especially a classic—can be an emotion-driven experience. Knowing the facts is essential if you are to get the right deal.

·         Need parts? Some larger car shows also feature a swap meet. Before you go, research the show and take note of car accessories and parts you might need.

·         Get some rest. Larger car shows can sprawl for miles upon miles. Make sure you’re rested, hydrated, and fed so you have plenty of energy for a long day of roaming.

·         Pack a bag. Be prepared to get the most out of the day by bringing along what you might need for the weather – from coats to sunscreen – and for your basic needs – from water to snacks. 

Whatever your reason for attending the next classic car show, we at Gilles Insurance Agency hope these pointers will ensure you make the very most of it.  We all know that you take special care of your classic/antique auto, so be sure you have it insured correctly.   If you need help insuring your classic or antique vehicle, give us a call 740-990-7107, we would be happy to help you out.
