Car Corral
Every year we have a Car Corral, where we invite individuals or dealers to display vehicles for sale at the show. Since our policy is to have no FOR SALE signs on any show cars, the Car Corral provides a place for selling a car. For just $50 you can display your vehicle in the Car Corral for BOTH days of the show. If you have a vehicle that you would like to sell, please fill out our Car Corral Registration Form (PDF) and mail it to us with your check. All Car Corral vehicles must be registered IN ADVANCE.

Help us continue the fine reputation of the show by following these simple guidelines:

Register early - Because the show is limited to 250 vehicles per day, it’s important that you get your registration form and payment in to the New Hope Auto Show office as soon as possible. No cars will be registered day of show. There are limited spaces for each division and the popular ones will fill quickly.

Be ready for judging - While every consideration is given to automobiles in original condition and to owners who are new to the hobby, we can accept only automobiles which are ready for judging. Automobiles not ready for judging may be ruled ineligible to compete and turned away at the gate. In these rare cases, pre-paid entry fees will be refunded.

Show car arrival time - In order to qualify for judging all show cars must arrive at the show grounds by 10:30 am both Saturday and Sunday. The show car gate opens at 8:00 am both days. Vehicles arriving after 10:30 am may not be eligible for judging.

Safety first - All show vehicles must have fire extinguishers. Please heed the Marshall’s instructions while moving your vehicles on show grounds. We do not wish to have a pedestrian-vehicle accident. Think Safety!

Judging standards - In most divisions, judging guidelines and standards follow those generally accepted by nationally recognized owners groups such as the AACA. In marque divisions, the standards are usually those of the marque’s owners club.

The Governor’s Cup – All AACA, CCCA, LCOC, RROC and other nationally recognized seniors and juniors compete in the Senior Division for the Governor’s Cup of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and are recognized with NHAS preservation awards. The finest pre-1950 (through 1949) and those made in 1950 and after, each receive a replica Governor’s Cup on Sunday afternoon and their name inscribed on the perpetual Governor’s Cup trophy. While all automobiles in the Senior Division may attend both days, they are presented with only one preservation award. The automobiles judged to be the finest in the two classes on Saturday are invited to return on Sunday for the final judging.

Parade of Champions – One of the highlights of the show each day is the Parade of Champions in which all award winners pass through the awards area so owners may receive their trophies. All other show car owners are asked to remain on the show grounds until this popular feature is completed.

Authentic Automobiles Only – Only authentic models of recognized automobile manufacturing companies are accepted. Customized cars, aftermarket parts modified vehicles, replicas, kit cars, and other such vehicles are not accepted. Vehicles in the High Performance Production Cars (HPP) division must be American made and completely stock as delivered by the manufacturer without modifications. Late model Shelby Cobra automobiles will be accepted with proof that the vehicle was manufactured at the Shelby facility. Vehicles may be turned away on the day of the show if modifications are found. There are no exceptions.

Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco Use – Because the show is conducted on school grounds, consumption of alcoholic beverages and the use of tobacco products in any form are strictly prohibited at all times. State and local regulations prohibit any exceptions to this policy.

Pets – No pets are allowed on the show grounds unless they are Leader, or Seeing Eye, dogs or other animals used for assistance by handicapped persons.

Bicycles – Bicycles are not allowed on show grounds. A bicycle parking area will be available at the spectator entrances.

Spectator admission - General $5.00; Seniors $3.00; Active Duty Regular Military, Active Duty National Guard, and Active Duty Reserve personnel and their dependents (must show ID) Free; Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. Policies regarding alcoholic beverages, tobacco use and pets apply to spectators, as well. Public gates open at 9:00 am both days.
