The Henry Ford will host Old Car Festival, America's longest-running antique car show, in Greenfield Village, Michigan, on September 6-7. 

Powered by Hagerty, Old Car Festival brings hundreds of vehicles from the 1890s through 1932 to Greenfield Village, where American history comes alive in the perfect setting. 

Guests can walk through the village and meet owners who have passionately preserved their vehicles while listening to the distinctive sounds of century-old cars. The experience includes the Pass-in-Review Car Parade and an awards showcase featuring the best restored and unrestored cars on display. 

The antique car show brings Ragtime America and the Jazz Age to life with two days of historically inspired street food, music, dancing and activities. Stay late Saturday evening for the Gaslight Parade of Cars, dancing with the River Raisin Ragtime Revue, and a Dixieland-style procession. Guests can enhance their Old Car Festival experience with a new buffet dining option featuring a classic barbeque menu including hot dogs, hamburgers, and barbecued chicken breast. 

In 2025, Old Car Festival recognizes the automobile's earliest years with a salute to Nineteenth-Century Motoring, including the Karl Benz patented Motorwagen, the 1886 automobile that defined the 20th century, along with some of the country's most storied makes, including Oldsmobile, Stanley, Packard, and Buick. 

Tickets to the Old Car Festival Dinner and admission for nonmembers are on sale here.
