2010 Motorized Vehicle Shows
Enthusiasts from across the country gather in St. Ignace for weekend shows and parades featuring motorcycles, vintage autos, hot rods, custom cars and trucks, pedal cars, antique tractors and semi-trucks. Moran Bay, which overlooks Mackinac Island, is the perfect backdrop for these spectacular motorized transportation events. A group-crossing over the Mackinac Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, is often a highlight for participants.
We are streamlining mailing efforts to get the 2010 Show Directory in your hands as efficiently as possible. Effective spring 2010 the show info tabloid will be posted on either of these websites: www.nostalgia-prod.com or www.stignacecarshow.com. You will receive all the information that you have in the past. The registration form will be in place for all of the current events (except the Owosso Tractor Parade & Show). We understand not everybody has web access, but most know of someone who does. Please inform all your car show friends of this change. To stay informed, join the email list by clicking here!

Legendary car builder Chuck Miller, who says his career started as a 10-year-old building model cars, has been named this year's guest of honor at the 35th St. Ignace Car Show Friday, June 25, and Saturday, June 26.
Mr. Miller, whose new biography, “Skyline Customs” by Tony Swan, will be on sale at the show, will arrive Wednesday, June 18, for Antiques on the Bay. He will be at multiple autograph signings during the weekend's festivities June 25 and June 26.
Mr. Miller was named “Auto Builder of the Year” at Detroit's Autorama in February, where he displayed seven of his most popular cars, including the Fire Truck and Red Baron. He hopes to feature some of the cars at the St. Ignace Car Show, which he's attended 14 times over the years.
At past events he's been both a featured car owner and honorary chair, and was inducted into the show's Hall of Fame North in 1993. He was presented a handcrafted Artist of the Year award in 1994 given by Ridler-Award winning builder Dan Webb.
