The Central Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation invites Porsche drivers to join them for the 26th Annual Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In which will feature Porsche on its 60th Anniversary, General Motors on its 100th Anniversary, and the Model A Ford on its 80th Anniversary. This is central Ohio’s premier car-related event – attracting more than two thousand display vehicles each year. This unique Dublin setting is perfect for a car show – with Porsche having Saturday’s prime parking area in the grass, under the trees by the pond. The Arthritis Foundation Show is being promoted as a multi-region Porsche Club of America event and thus we hope to have numerous entries from surrounding Regions.
The celebration kicks off on Friday, July 11th with a Cruise-In, which has become the largest event of its kind in Ohio. More than 2,000 street rods, muscle cars, vintage cars, European exotics and other cruisers from the 1920s to the present will make their appearance. 25-years of tradition will continue with a presentation of awesome 6-foot-high trophies to the Top Cruise-In cars. In honor of the show’s Silver Anniversary, 100 of these trophies will be presented to the best of the best. A huge variety of terrific food will be available at the concession stands, so plan to come early and spend the entire day with your family and friends, enjoying a live concert featuring the British Invasion in the evening!
On Saturday, July 12th, you’ll have a full day at the exciting Classic Auto, with more than 45 judged classes of automobiles on display, special Show-Within-A-Show groups and several regional events taking place. Many fabulous Indy Pace Car examples will be displayed, including rarely seen cars from the Bob McDorman collection. Rock ‘N’ Roll Oldies will spin all day long, followed by a fantastic live concert by Phil Dirt & The Dozers in the evening, including a dance floor in front of the stage!
A special display of automobiles, which are more than 25 years old and owned by their original owners, will be another unique attraction. If you have an automobile that fits in this category, please contact us so that we can arrange for you to participate in this unusual event.
On Saturday the gates open at 7:30 a.m., a participants’ meeting is at 11:30, with judging beginning at noon. Judging rules will be the same as in the past few years. We will have a total of 8 Porsche classes (listed on the registration form). Keeping this the ‘user-friendly’ event it has been; engine compartments, undercarriages, and wheel wells will not be judged. Originality is also not considered in the scoring. If you wash your car and vacuum the interior, you’re ready to enter!
The Parade of Champions starts at 4:30 p.m. The Best of Show Porsche along with the 1st Place winner from each of the 8 classes will drive in front of the show stage to receive their award while the two Award of Excellence winners for each class are announced and invited to walk up to receive their awards. Also presented at that time will be the Floyd Acton Award -- given annually to a MORPCA member who best exemplifies the spirit of PCA and the friendships it creates. Last year’s winners Rob & Brenda Ellis will be given a ‘keeper trophy’ as they pass the real one onto the 2008 recipient.

We invite all of our Porsche drivers, including those not actively participating in the show, to come out to the Dublin Metro Center to enjoy plenty of lawn parking in the shade, great eats and the wonderful fellowship that is always the hallmark of the Arthritis Foundation’s Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In. We look forward to celebrating Porsche’s 60th Anniversary with you!
