Event Description
Here at Carolina Classics at the Capital we’ve spent the last few months tweaking, revising and, in some cases, reinventing our model for what’s fast becoming one of the most popular classic car shows in the Southeast. Last August, an estimated 40,000 people flooded the streets of Downtown Raleigh to see hundreds of beautiful cars and trucks on display. More than 7,000 of them paid to tour the exhibits and vendor areas inside the Raleigh Convention Center, and our goal in 2012 is to convert more of those attendees into customer prospects for our vendors and sponsors.
NEW FOR 2012: One contiguous show footprint, indoors and out! All spectators will pay to enter.
NEW FOR 2012: Vendors can choose indoor or outdoor spaces! Same price. First-come, first-served.
NEW FOR 2012: Reduced indoor pricing for all cars! Bright, air-conditioned and secure all weekend.
What hasn’t changed is the great downtown atmosphere in North Carolina’s centrally located capital city. We’ll still have huge crowds, live oldies music, radio station broadcasts, TV coverage, conveniently located restaurants, bars and hotels, and the Friday Night Cruise-In (free to classic car participants!)

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL
Introduced in late 1966 for a short, single-year production run, the 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL holds a special place in the “Pagoda” lineage (W113 series) as the rarest variant, with only about 5,196 units built. Positioned between the earlier 230SL and the later 280SL, the 250SL…

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models.

With its low windshield,…
