August 18, 2023
The Corvettes at Carlisle car show on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Aug. 24, 25, and 26, at the Carlisle, Pa., Fairgrounds, will do what it does best, embrace history and celebrate the people and cars that make the hobby so special. This year, the celebrations include special displays, the annual downtown Carlisle Corvette Parade and Street Party (Aug. 26), and the return of the Corvette American Flag. This, and so much more, help make Corvettes at Carlisle the best car show of its type worldwide. Corvettes at Carlisle is three days, but for some its a weeklong celebration. Corvettes come and go in the days leading up to the events official opening day, but Thursday, Aug. 24, at 7 a.m. serves as the official start day. Enthusiasts come from nearly every state, and there is a large international audience. People come to have their Corvette judged, meet special guests, shop for parts within the automotive flea market, view Corvettes within the car corral, sit in on free seminars, and more. Corvettes at Carlisle doesnt just host the finest Corvettes, it hosts all kinds of Corvettes. This includes project cars, weekend show pieces, and daily drivers too. More than that, show goers come for the unmatched camaraderie that a show like this provides. Corvettes at Carlisle also hosts special displays. This year, guests can marvel at some of the best 1973 Corvettes around with a 50-year look back at some early-decade C3s. The NCCC is also back at Carlisle, presenting its annual Judged Concours. The NCRS Gallery showcases some of the best of the best too, while Building Ts yearly Chips Choice display welcomes 100 Years of LeMans Corvettes. Chips Choice is special this year in that it brings together cars that have historical significance associated with the famed race in France. This includes the #1 and #3 Cunningham Corvettes from the 1960 race, a 1968 L88 DX that was tapped to dominate the race but ultimately never made it across the pond due to the postponement of the race in 68, and a trio of Callaway Cars that were attached to various races but for the first time ever come together to not only be part of a car show, but to honor their namesake, the late Reeves Callaway. Corvettes at Carlisle is also giving away a Corvette in 2023. The giveaway winner has a 1 in 1,000 chance to win a 2023 2LT.

Speaking of the CMAF, friends of the foundation will come together Friday (Aug. 25) for the annual dinner at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center.
