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. Car

For additional information, contact
us.
Help us continue the fine reputation of the show by following these simple guidelines:
Discount for Car Clubs - For members of recognized car clubs we offer a pre-paid registration fee of $15 per car when TEN OR MORE of your club members also register. Please submit ONE CHECK for all participants with a separate registration form for each car. Download form at our web site. For more information, call us at (215) 862-5665. Or email us at showinfo@newhopeautoshow.com.
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 Automobile Show office as soon
as possible. For cars wishing to register day of show, there is an
additional $5 fee. However we must warn you that because of our limited
space, the popular divisions fill up quickly and day-of-show registrations
can't be guaranteed.
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.
Display only vehicles. If you do not wish to have your vehicle judged, you are welcome to show in the appropriate category. Please indicate on your registration form that you do not want to be judged. Simply check the "Do Not Judge" box.Vehicles must be in presentable original condition.
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. For public safety reasons, we must close the show car gate
at 12:00 noon.
All show cars should enter show grounds
from Bridge Street at the front of the high school. Upon entering,
car owners will stop at registration table for check-in. After check-in,
cars will be directed to photographer's location where a photo is
taken of car. From there, event marshalls will direct show car to
the proper division location.
Trailered cars should enter show
grounds from Bridge Street at the front of the high school. At the
registration table they will receive their paperwork and then follow
signage / directions to trailer parking. After unloading, show car
should be driven back to the registration table, where car will be
directed to the photographer's location for a photo, and then directed to
the proper division by our event marshalls.
Safety first -
All show vehicles must have fire extinguishers.
Please heed the marshall’s
instructions while moving your vehicles on show grounds. Always observe
a safe speed. 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. The Parade of Champions begins after all judging is completed, at approximately 2:30 each day. 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.

days.
