Join us in celebrating automotive passion and preservation at The Great Car Show, an annual fundraiser benefiting the Kansas City Automotive Museum. All proceeds support the KC Auto Museum and its mission to celebrate, preserve, and promote the automotive industry throughout the Kansas City area and the greater Midwest region. 

Set against the iconic backdrop of the National WWI Museum and Memorial, the show features an impressive lineup of vehicles from across the Midwest, spanning a wide range of makes, models, and eras. Fifteen award categories will be presented to recognize outstanding vehicles and craftsmanship throughout the show.
