MEETING OF THE MARQUES 2025

Artistry on Wheels (AoW) is an extension of the popular Meeting of the Marques (MoM) Motorshow. 

In 1990, MoM was established as a motor show to display sports and sport touring vehicles , all makes were welcome, but the show did focus on British made vehicles.  Over the years the show venue limited a lot of participation from the public making it mostly a show for the vehicle owners themselves.

In 2012, the Meeting of the Marques Motorshow was given a new look and venue, allowing it to become even more popular among sports car enthusiasts and the general public. In the mid-teens the show was merged into the downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania Harvest of the Arts Festival. This gave lots of room to expand and allow the public to view all these fine examples of automobile engineering. The Harvest of the Arts has 20,000+ folks who attend for the arts, crafts, and entertainment then get to walk around our sports cars. On the other side of the “coin” our vehicle owners get to show and discuss with many, many people the high lights of their vehicles.

Today’s version of ‘The MoM’ represents a distinct evolution from the original all-British show held at the Allenberry Resort for many years in nearby Boiling Springs. For the last decade our goal has been to occupy a venue that offered activities for the entire family while also introducing the public to the folks like you who energize our hobby. We believe that we have exceeded those expectations! 

Some great moments have occurred  at prior events: 

• Our Sponsors return in greater numbers each year. Some have partnered with the SVVSCC on various endeavors going back to the 2001 Hershey Vintage Hillclimb. Please recognize these partners listed herein, and on our website, with your patronage. 
• Local artists representing various media have annually inserted themselves into the show to work their craft, perhaps to immortalize your vehicle, so do approach them to commission a new ‘masterwork’.

If you've  attended a previous event, we hope you had a great day exploring Carlisle, kicking tires with friends old and new, and educating people in our great hobby.
