It’s time to mark your calendar! For those of you who like to plan ahead, flip to the end of February. One of the largest car shows and auto auctions in the United States will occur from February 24-26. As you can imagine, that is quite a limited amount of time to see everything, so don’t put it off! The self-proclaimed largest classic car show and auction on the East Coast, the Atlantic City Classic Car Show and Auction will take place as always at the Atlantic City Convention Center in-you guessed it- Atlantic City, New Jersey.

This year, the folks in charge are expecting an impressive turn-out of over 60,000 enthusiasts and collectors, who will be able to “browse, buy, and admire” the collection. Over 1000 cars will be available for sale, and they will all be in one convenient location! As if that weren’t enough reason to go, Piece of the Past, Inc. will offer authentic historical and entertainment memorabilia before the autos begin each day. Looking for something to drive home? You could have a chance to win a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible Indy Pace Car. The car will be raffled off, and only 2,000 tickets will be available for sale- those are pretty good odds! Tickets are $100 each. The drawing is scheduled to be held on February 25 at the car show.
