30th Annual Golden Memories Sunday, September 15, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Flint Cultural Center Campus
(Vehicle Registration 8:30 a.m.-Noon)
Presented by Attentive Industries Sponsored by Friends of Sloan*Longway, Roaring 20's Ice Cream Parlor, and Hot Dog Heaven
Food Vendors on site (please bring CASH for the food trucks).
Enjoy a car show featuring vehicles that have celebrated their golden 50th anniversary. Free for both car owners and event-goers.
This very special event is exclusively for original or authentically restored vehicles produced in 1974 or earlier. No visual modifications are allowed, including wheels and hubcaps. Golden Memories is non-competitive, so there will be no judging; just a relaxing day with friends and fellow car enthusiasts who love well-preserved and restored automobiles.
HIGHLIGHTS • The first 160 vehicles receive dash plaques. • Driver and one passenger will receive free admission to Sloan Museum of Discovery and Flint Institute of Arts. • Drawings every hour for FREE hot dogs and ice cream cones • Suitcase Swap Meet: Vehicle owners can sell or trade item(s) small enough to fit into a suitcase next to their vehicle. • Vehicle Owner’s Choice Award: Vehicle owners can vote for the award winner. • Youngest Registrant Award: Given to the youngest registrant, this award inspires younger generations to keep our golden memories alive. • Special recognition for cars 50, 75, & 100 years-old with a pass-in review. • The following year’s dash plaque winner is selected through a lottery-style drawing.
Trailer parking will be in the Flint Cultural Center Academy or Whiting Auditorium Parking Lots, and the show will continue to be the same, laid-back, DJ-free event that you love. Thank you for your suggestions for ways to improve the show.
