Greenfield Village Marks 75th Old Car Festival with Hundreds of Antiques on Display

Greenfield Village hosted the 75th annual Old Car Festival, which the museum identifies as the longest-running antique auto show in the United States. Hundreds of vintage automobiles, along with trucks, motorcycles and bicycles, gathered on the Village grounds for the milestone celebration.

Photographs and captions from the event show a range of antiques on display, including Ford Model Ts parked on the Village Green, underscoring the festival’s emphasis on early American motoring. The collection of vehicles reflected multiple eras and vehicle types, drawing attention to the preservation and public exhibition of automotive history.

For Michigan enthusiasts, the milestone reinforces Greenfield Village’s role as a focal point for classic-car culture in the state and beyond. The festival’s longevity and broad representation of historic vehicles continue to provide owners, restorers and the public a recurring opportunity to see rare and early examples in one setting.
