4th Annual SMIA Classic Car Exposition - May 22nd 9:30am-2:00pm


Start your engines! Dust off those fancy vehicles hiding away in your garage… come on down and show it off at the 4th Annual SMIA Classic Car Exposition on Saturday, May 22nd from 9.30am – 2.00pm at All Saints Church (corner of San Marin and Novato Blvd). This event is free to the public ~ bring your family and check out some unique, fancy, and sometimes funky classic cars! All Saints Church will be selling hotdogs and drinks as a fundraiser for their church.

Andrew (our volunteer event manager) is also looking to feature some 'alternative' vehicles this year...if you have a micro car, a fully electric, plug-in hybrid or alternative-fuel powered vehicle or motorcycle, we would love to see it at the show…

There is a $20 donation for each car entered. The “gates open” at 9:00am for all participating vehicles. If you would like to enter your car, please enter online below or just show up! - we promise we will have room for you! Works-in-progress are very welcome.

To register, show up the day of the show or pay here using PayPal to pre-register:
