Recognizing that extraordinary times require extraordinary efforts, this year one ticket offers two options: you can experience this classic car show and garden party in-person, online … or BOTH!
 
The annual Auburn Heights Invitational features exceptional motor cars from the dawn of the automotive age through 1969. Tickets are non-refundable (benefiting the Joseph Boxler Education Fund, which supports educational programming by the Marshall Steam Museum), and event is held rain or shine (and now also online as well as in-person!).
 
Your ticket provides access to exclusive on-line content that includes videos of interviews with classic car owners and sneak peeks into private collections as well as imagery and stories that we simply cannot fit into the traditional high-quality catalog (still available to all ticketholders whether you attend in person or not).
 
Here’s a preview:
 
Ticketholders may also attend the in-person event on Sunday, Sept. 20 by reserving their entry time (so we can control capacity and adhere to all local, state and CDC guidelines) and enjoy great food from “On the Roll” food truck as well as beer and wine, view the exhibit cars, explore the newly renovated Marshall Steam Museum, take a ride on the Auburn Valley Railroad (socially distanced, of course), and participate in the silent auction and raffle.
