2023 RECAP

2023 was the 32nd anniversary of the original Meeting of the Marques. For the last eight years it has been called Artistry on Wheels and held in Carlisle, PA in conjunction with their Harvest of the Arts Festival which certaining adds to the overall ambiance of the event.

For the first time in those 32 years, the event was run in the pouring rain and some wind. Regardless, the turnout of SVVSC Club members who directed the show cars to park, erected tents, and performed numerous other tasks was great. Even the car owners who brought their cars out in the rain to show demonstrated that a little water could not dampen their sprits. The rain did lesson the number of pre-registered cars that made it there, so the overall number of participants was less than anticipated. We even shortened the show hours to present trophies at 12 noon to try and get everyone out of the rain.

As in the past, the folks from the “TOYS OF TIME KRUZERS” Car Club came to judge our cars.  We owe them “Many Thanks”.

Again, we are grateful for our show sponsors and ask that you support them by your patronage.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped, even under difficult conditions we “pulled it off”.

Looking forward to a dryer show next year.
