Car Enthusiasts

The Rhinebeck Car Show consists of two distinct days showcasing different types of cars:

Saturday

As usual, the car show will feature Saturday’s Rod and Custom Dust Off devoted to hot rods, street rods, customs, race cars, and compact customs/pickups. A great number of vehicles are expected to be on the show field Saturday.

Sunday

Sunday’s show is for unmodified antique and classic vehicles manufactured up to the year 2000. On Sunday many great antique and classic cars are parked in 60 classes. First, second, and third-place awards are presented in these classes.

The Swap Meet

The Swap Meet at Rhinebeck has been a favorite among car collectors from all over the Northeast for years. Our objective is to make this the most vendor-friendly Swap Meet around. There are a large number of Swap Spaces at Rhinebeck.  Our long-time vendors tell us that Rhinebeck is one of their favorite shows. Each year thousands of spectators come to Rhinebeck seeking auto-related items or services.
