Our biggest show in 7 years at Portland Motor Club

Our biggest show in 7 years at Portland Motor Club!!! Over 300 cars came through to spend some time on a very hot day with their fellow car enthusiasts and to donate two extra-long van-loads of toys and presents to the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots Program. A great turn out and a great time — thank you all who helped out.

C&G MACH 1C&G CAMAROC&G RR2

Classic Car Show (cruise-in style): show cars of all makes and models please arrive no earlier than 8:30 (to keep Route One from turning into a parking lot); Special Classic Mopar Collection featuring dozens of 1960s and 70s classic Plymouth and Dodge muscle cars and more on display in the showroom and service bays — since, by law, we can’t actually be doing business that day so we’re clearing the building and the lot to make room for this great event.

Live Music from 10 to 4 featuring the Jimmie Van Zant Band up from Tennessee playing Skynyrd and their own great music plus the WBLM house band and some local talent. See and hear his website here.

Admission is free. This is a benefit event for Biddeford-Saco area food pantries so please bring non-perishable food items or you can write a check to one of several groups at the event. There will also be a 50/50 raffle with our half going to these pantries.

There will be a variety of great food trucks on hand for lunch and snacks and drinks. No coolers please.

It’s rain or shine although we prefer shine. Bring a folding chair and maybe keep an umbrella in the car. Folding tents/canopies will only be allowed by the show cars

For non-show cars, there will be a passenger drop-off area on Spring Hill Road (off Route One next to the dealership) with parking up Spring Hill Road and shuttle vans running back and forth throughout the day.

For more information, you can visit the dealership’s website here .

* The dealership is one of our sister businesses along with Portland Volvo and Portland Detailing.

2013 Maine Car Show & Cruise-Ins Updated

Just a heads up that our comprehensive calendars listing 2013 Maine car shows and cruise-ins have been painstakingly updated for your automotive pleasure!

It might not seem like that big a deal but there are often a lot of discrepancies and confusions from year to year that have to be researched with a phone call or an email. We try to research as many resources as we can to get the most complete list we can compile for you. It actually takes several days to get it even close to right! It’s one stop car show shopping at

https://portlandmotorclub.com/drivers-resources/calendar-and-events/

We do take pride in making this as complete as we can but we do need your help. PLEASE send us an email to info@portlandmotorclub.com if you find any errors (and I’m sure there are some and if we knew what they were, we’d change ’em!) or additional info we can include, please let us know. We can only put some many details in a listing but it wouldn’t hurt to send more info if you have it.

Have a great driving season!
