Carlisle Chevrolet Nationals Offers Star-Studded Weekend in June

CARLISLE, Pa. - March 27, 2019 - PRLog -- As the 19^th edition of the Carlisle Chevrolet Nationals takes shape, one thing is for sure.  The weekend of June 21-22 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds will be unlike anything ever seen before at this annual summertime gathering.  If cars were stars, which to the thousands of guests at Carlisle they are, then this year's event is star-studded to say the least.  From special displays to guests, activities and more, being a part of the Carlisle Chevrolet Nationals is a MUST for any tried and true fan of the brand.

Gates open at 7 a.m. for this two-day event.  Once on grounds, showgoers will immediately be taken back to a time when Detroit and Chevrolet (as well as other products under the GM umbrella) were king.  From Pontiac to Buick, Cadillac to Oldsmobile, Camaro to GTO Judge, El Camino to Chevy Trucks and so much more, the National Parts Depot Showfield has it all!

While there are many great highlights to the event, THE highlight of the entire weekend happens on the back half of its final day.  At 1 p.m. on June 22, guests can enjoy the Bandit Jump.  This is the first event of its type ANYWHERE in 2019 and the first time it's ever happened at Carlisle.  Join the Northeast Ohio Dukes as they honor the late great Burt Reynolds and Smokey and the Bandit with this jump on the south side of the grounds.  The jump is free for all on-site, but for prime viewing, a VIP ticket is required.  The VIP ticket pack is available now at www.carlisletickets.com.

Other great celebration features in 2019 include a judged Showfield specific to Chevy and GMC trucks spanning the era of 1947 to 1987.  In addition, the Chevy Blazer gets a nod with a display spotlighting 50 years, while El Camino lovers honor 60 years of their beloved coupé utility (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup%C3%A9_utility).  Another 50^th showcase includes the GTO Judge while Carlisle Events as a company also invites enthusiasts to help honor the iconic Summer of '69 with a 50-year focus of cars and trucks from that era.

50 and 60-year old honors aren't all that will come out of Chevrolet weekend, as the Nova Nationals invade the fairgrounds, plus the Solid Lifter Showroom returns to Building Y.  A judged Showfield of nearly 1,000 cars plus a strong automotive flea market and midway help make this event one of the best of its type in the region.

Chevrolet weekend also plays host to a two-day dedicated Hurst Showcase.  This display, located under a tent, features dozens of top of the line Hurst branded cars.  There will also be Hurst engineers and others associated with the early years of Hurst.  In addition, Miss Hurst Golden Shifter, Linda Vaughn is scheduled to appear at the event for the first time in more than a decade.

But wait, there's more!  In keeping with the theme of Chevrolet Nationals weekend being bigger and better, guests should also plan a stopover at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center for a full day of collector and classic car auction excitement.  Backed by Carlisle Auctions, the Summer Sale spans a good portion of Saturday and will host over 200+ consignments.  A free shuttle will transport guests between venues to best quench their automotive appetites too.
