JpMotorsports Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Very cool Larry! Linc Its not my car but my dads. Its pretty much a Mustang show alot like how the old car festival is a model a show lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I would disagree on the Old Car Festival being a Model A show. There is IMO, pretty good variety unless it is the marquis for the show like a few years ago it was on Model T's and they were running everywhere. Am I going to see you at the show?

They only allow 800 cars, and they wanted variety before. The last time I was there (2010) they told me they rejected over 300 1964 1/2 - 1966 Mustangs because they didn't want the show overrun with them. Last I heard they didn't want more than 4 examples of any model per year. I hope that hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JpMotorsports Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yah they do say that but there always is a good amount of mustangs they do try and keep them different colors. Its still a great show with a very large varity in it unlike any other show I have been to. I am only 28 and this will be my 6th year showing a car there.Larry I will be at the Old Car Festival as well my uncle and I will be showing his 29 model a phateton and his 29 model a leather back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericmac Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I have gone to the OCF many times with my Model T and with a '34 Ford Woody to the Motor Muster. While I agree that Fords and Chevys are probably over-represented, keep in mind that they are over-represented at nearly all shows, AACA included. That being said, what I like about these two events is they are exclusively non-modified cars with no street-rods. Outside of an AACA or CCCA event, the OCF and Motor Muster are about the only places to see such a variety and quantity of cars in stock form. So, you don't want to see Model A's? Walk past them and look at the '29 Durant parked next to it. Tired of Model T's? Look at the '09 Franklin and '09 International Roadster bookending it. Do like Model T's and want to see a town car? Check. 2 Lever '09 Touring? Check. Mustang? Sure, any color. '64 Mercury Marauder with a 4 speed? Got that too. Twin stick Rambler American Convertible? Yup. You get the idea. The other part of the OCF I like is, similar to AACA, you can see the cars being driven. Unlike almost every other show I attend, the average age of participants seems to be dropping. Kids who used to occupy the back seat of grandpa's toy are now showing up behind the wheel. For many people either the OCF or Motor Muster are their only car shows of the year. Folks, if you have never been I strongly encourage attending. When I get my '62 Lincoln done someday, I plan to attend with it.

WireWheel Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Two years ago we took our 31 Chevrolet Sport Coupe to the OCF. As I remember there were four Model As in the class. I received a First Place Award and had a blast. Drove around some and watched others driving at other times. Learned a lot about some other make cars.

JpMotorsports Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 cool thing about the old car festival is you have the choice to have your car judged or not. I like how the have all the judged cars on the main lawn in front of the church Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I never enter a car (I live two hours away), but both shows are among my favorites to attend every year...my wife buys me a membership to Henry Ford largely for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really good tow companies with cover trailers or you could always rent one or drive. I live about 45min away and drive mine down and back I94 all the way to the village. I have also trailered it there twice and drove home. The great thing is you can leave your car on the grounds over night. You do not need to take it home.

You do not get any ribbons at motor muster. The old car festival also gives you the choice to be judged or not motor muster all cars are judged. IMO the judging is very tough for both shows with not only the wide range of years in each class but you have very high end cars competing with your (back then) everyday every mans car. The judges do an excellent job looking at the over all quality vs value of each car. Dose anyone know who judges these two shows?

Larry W Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I attended both events and saw these cars. My buddy displayed his Cushman scooter at Greenfield Village.
