Carolina Classics At The Capital
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 19, 20, 21, 2011
In the Heart of Downtown Raleigh, N.C.
Thanks to believers like you, the 1010 Classics at the Capital surpassed virtually every expectation of what a first-year show could be. Our exit surveys ranked the overall vendor/exhibitor experience at a 4.3 on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best), and we consistently heard positive comments throughout the weekend. We promised you an experience that was second to none, and I hope you’ll agree Carolina Classics at the Capital is off to a great start. If you haven’t seen our gallery of images from this year’s show, click over to Gallery to see some of our 2010 winners.
As you schedule your 2011 show calendar, please reserve the dates Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 19th, 20th and 21st. That’s the weekend we’ll be back in Downtown Raleigh with hundreds of cars, tens of thousands of spectators, live bands and great vendors.
For 2011, Carolina Classics at the Capital will feature more live classic rock and oldies bands, additional family entertainment, deeper discounts for classic car clubs and special Cruise-In options to ensure even more great classic cars will participate. It only gets better from here!

A Bite of History: Unicorn Restorations, the 1974 Camaro Z28
by Mike Thies
At any good car show, you will find 1957 Chevys in every form: survivors, frame-off restorations, and restomods. What you will rarely find is a 1958. That tells you something about the collector market. Not every year of a popular model becomes a true collectible. Buyers pick favorites, and those years get saved, restored, and passed down, while the years next to them…
