Technically, Steve Dulcich RETURNS to Carlisle. It’s been over 20 years, but Steve has been to Carlisle before back when he was the Tech Editor for Mopar Muscle magazine. These days, you can catch Steve on MotorTrend TV on his regular shows, Roadkill Garage and Engine Masters. During the Chrysler weekend, Steve will sign autographs on the Stage and even conduct a tech seminar in the Hospitality Tent on Friday at 10 AM.

Just for fun, as part of Steve’s tech seminar, he is going to use the same ’71 Road Runner that he used for his tech seminars in 2001. Our good friend Dale Mathews owned the car then and he still owns it today. Dale has agreed to bring the car back to Carlisle and let Steve use it for his current tech seminar. Don’t miss your chance to meet Steve, get an autograph and even sit in on a tech seminar!

Linda Vaughn has been an icon in the automotive industry and racing community since the ‘60s and she remains a fan favorite to this day. She will be at Carlisle on Friday and Saturday to meet fans, take photos and sign autographs. Don’t miss your chance to meet a legend who shaped the hobby that brings us all together each year.

Linda always draws a crowd so we ask that you limit your items for her to sign to one per person. We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to meet Linda and get an autograph. Linda usually brings some cool collectibles to sell when she goes to events so we’re excited to see what she brings this year. You’ll find Linda on the Stage (see schedule for times).

Butch Leal is known as The California Flash, and for good reason! Butch is one of a few racers who ran in numerous classes, but even better, he was successful in them. In fact, he is one of even fewer racers who won national events in three different classes: Pro Stock, Modified and Super Stock. Not only will Butch be here to meet his fans, he will be with his 1965 Plymouth A990 Hemi car.

Butch will be in the A990/A864 Reunion Tent on the Showfield along with his former A990 and about 10 other ’64 and ’65 A990 and A864 Hemi cars. You can meet Butch, get his autograph, a photo and he’ll even have a limited number of his die-cast cars available. Butch will be at the show all day on Friday and Saturday so don’t miss your chance to meet this Chrysler drag racing legend!

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and you do NOT want to miss this. We have rounded up five engineers from the Chrysler Wing Car Program and they are going to share their stories directly with YOU! That’s right, you don’t have to hear it secondhand or read it on some questionable internet site. You are going to hear the stories right from the guys who were there. It doesn’t get any better than this.

The engineers will give a presentation on Friday and another on Saturday, both in the Hospitality Tent. We are very proud to have the following gentlemen join us this year:

• Dave Buchesky: Race Team Engineer
• Gino Raffin: Chassis Engineer
• Gordon Rinschler: Chrysler Engineer
• Bill Surber: Chrysler Race Team Engineer (based out of Petty Enterprises)
• John Wehrly: Chrysler Race Engineer
• Sean Machado: modern day Wing Car historian

Even though Claudia is becoming a regular at Carlisle, each year she finds a way to bring something different to the show…in terms of entertainment and even cool collectibles. She rode on a vintage Richard Petty lawnmower in a parade of Mopar Collectibles, she’s done photoshoots and even created a line of Ms. DC collectibles.

To try to match her efforts, we have created another new poster for her to sign. And, just like in the past, these posters will be totally FREE. This year’s offering is a mix of the original 1984 Ms. DC poster and it’s blended with more recent photos. Claudia will be on the Stage for autographs all weekend and you’ll want to make sure you get your FREE poster!

Courtesy of our friends at the McCandless Collection, Herb McCandless and Buddy Martin will appear at the show on Friday and Saturday. They will spend most of their time in the McCandless Collection booth on the Midway (space IG 109-126) where Buddy and Herb McCandless will meet fans, sign autographs and more. Now that the McCandless Collection has acquired the trademark, look for even more Sox & Martin merchandise in the McCandless Collection display this year.

The McCandless Collection will be displaying several of their vehicles as well as one of Buddy’s personal cars. In more good news, the Hemi Shootout will at the NHRA US Nationals will once again be sponsored by Sox & Martin and the McCandless Collection. They might even bring this year’s Hemi Shootout trophy to display in their booth.

Why does Fletch travel 10,000 miles to come to Carlisle? Because Carlisle is a special place for him and because he loves Mopars! He also loves meeting his fellow American Mopar nuts and filming their cars. That’s right, you and your Mopar could be on international television. If you see Fletch or his lovely assistant, Donna, be sure to smile for the camera. You never know, Fletch might even feature you and your Mopar on Classic Restos.

Classic Restos is Australia’s longest running, continuously produced lifestyle automotive TV show of its kind. The show airs on US television and in numerous countries around the world. The show is in its 18th year with over 800 episodes, so you and your Mopar really could be an international TV star!

We are honored to team up with Frank Rhodes, who is the Great Grandson of Walter P. Chrysler, as well as the Walter P. Chrysler Club to bring you this once in a lifetime celebration of the company that brings us all together each July. This gathering will include special displays, guests, seminars and more. The WPC Club is offering an exclusive Chrysler 100 Package for just $20 (more details soon). The package will include a commemorative license plate, window decal, dash plaque and a one-year digital membership to the WPC Club.

Due to the anticipated size, we will be utilizing the Carlisle Expo Center located just across the street from Gate 3. This celebration will include everything under the Chrysler Corporation over the last 100 years with an emphasis on the early history of the company. We plan to go beyond the cars and include military vehicles and other items produced by Chrysler over the years. The Chrysler 100 will be more than just a display, it will be the main theme of the event.

Get ready for something special at this year's Carlisle Chrysler Nationals (July 11-13) - Chrysler's CEO Chris Feuell is attending! She'll be here Friday, July 11, which is pretty huge since you don't usually see the head of a major car company rolling up to a car show!

The timing couldn't be better since Chrysler just hit their 100th birthday on June 6th. They're going all out with a "Century of Innovation" celebration that'll have special displays showing off the brand's coolest stuff over the decades. Plus, Walter P. Chrysler's great-grandson Frank Rhodes is teaming up with the Walter P. Chrysler Club to put together an awesome tribute that's going to take over both the fairgrounds and the Expo Center.

It's already the biggest all-Mopar event out there, but having the actual boss show up for the centennial makes it extra special.

Our M2 die-cast this year commemorates the AAR ‘Cuda & Challenger T/A Reunion taking place in and around Building Y. One of the cars being featured in the building belongs to noted T/A collector and restorer, Mike Hamilton. Mike’s Go Mango T/A that will be on display in the building was the inspiration behind this year’s die-cast offering. It’s hard to beat that EK2 orange paint with the white top and interior contrasted by the black hood and stripes!

Not only was this T/A based on a real car, but it’s also one of the very first Challenger T/A releases from M2 in 1:64 scale. There are no pre-orders, no shipping and you can’t buy these at Walmart. You can only get them at the Carlisle Store in Building T. Production is limited to just 1,000 pieces and sales are limited to six (6) die-cast per person. Last year’s cars sold out early so be sure to get yours right away!

It’s a rare treat to see even one 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car but if you come to Carlisle this year, you can see TWO Turbine Cars together for the first time since…well, we don’t know when! Regardless, when is the last time YOU saw two Chrysler Turbine Cars together? If you answered “never”, then we have you covered. The two Turbine Cars will be on display at the Carlisle Expo Center as part of the Chrysler 100 Celebration.

Admission to the Expo Center is included with your admission to the Chrysler Nationals. In addition to the Turbine Cars, there will be another 40+ vehicles on display inside the Expo Center including some other really special vehicles. How about Mrs. Chrysler’s personal 1937 Chrysler Imperial limo? Or maybe you would rather see Nelson Rockefeller’s 1960 Crown Imperial Limousine? They will both be there and so much more!!

Building T is always a must-see display when you come to Carlisle. This year our goal is to make it look and feel like a “three-day Chrysler museum.” Most years we set out to feature the coolest Mopars on the planet so basically anything under the Chrysler umbrella is eligible. While that will likely still hold true this year, our goal is to display as many milestone vehicles as possible. We are looking for vehicles that changed Chrysler and the automotive landscape.

Some examples would be a military Jeep, a Hellcat, an Airflow, a Superbird or Daytona, a Viper, a K-car or a minivan. Let’s not forget the trucks like the Li’l Red Express, SRT-10 and the TRX. There are lots more but these should give you an idea. We get it, every Mopar is important, but we are looking for the models that really stand out because they helped win the war, saved the company and/or were just plain outrageous! We’re also looking for other cool items that Chrysler built besides cars, trucks and Jeeps.

If you have any of the above, you are encouraged to submit an application!

We’re teaming up with Jeff Bangert of the AAR ‘Cuda Registry and Barry Washington of the Challenger T/A Registry to bring you the 55th anniversary of Chrysler’s one-year effort in the Trans Am series. As part of the celebration, you can expect seminars, Q&A sessions, special displays including cars and parts plus more.

We regularly reach out looking for cool cars to display for these celebrations, but we also like to get other memorabilia like factory documentation and literature, unique parts, tooling, etc. If you have an AAR or a T/A that you would like to have us consider for a special display, you can submit an application at www.CarlisleFeatures.com. If you have anything else related to the Trans Am program that you’d like to display, please email Ed directly at EdB@CarlisleEvents.com.

The 1964 A864 and 1965 A990 Hemi cars were some of the wildest factory drag cars of their time. Since they are so similar, we’re going to celebrate this pair simultaneously under a big tent on the Showfield. We’re planning to have everything from as-delivered stockers to fully prepped race cars. This display is courtesy of the efforts of Kramer Automotive, American Racing Performance Museum, Drag Race Hall of Fame and Harold LaPlatte.

Both the ’64 and ’65 cars made use of lightweight materials. The ’64 cars utilized aluminum body panels to shave weight. Gone were the aluminum body panels for ’65 but those cars received aluminum heads and other engine accessories as well as a magnesium intake. Other weight savings included the removal of almost anything that wasn’t needed.

This display is dedicated to the memory of Jim Hall of the Golden Commandos.

The Neon might not have been the wildest or most powerful vehicle ever produced by Chrysler, but it has had a cult-like following from the very beginning. We’re looking forward to celebrating this little performer’s 30th anniversary at the show this year. We’ve teamed up with 2GN.org and the Neon community as a whole to bring you some of the coolest Neons in a special tent display. The tent will be in the middle of the Showfield filled with more cool Neons!

The Neon came about long after the muscle car era and right before Chrysler put the HEMI in just about everything. That little car covered a lot of ground serving as an economical family car for many but it also had a sporty side plus all-out performance variants with the R/T, ACR and the ultimate, the SRT4. See a field full over everything from bone stock to wildly modified Neons!

The entire Mopar world was shocked and saddened by the passing of Mopar Survivors founder Mel Major. His sons Gregg and Ken have committed to continuing the legacy created by their father more than 20 years ago. Having Mel’s sons fill their father’s shoes is the best possible scenario for this iconic display.

If you have a Mopar that’s at least 25 years old and retains a minimum of 85% of its original, assembly line parts (including paint), then we encourage you to submit it for this world-class display. Carlisle Events and the Major family are committed to carrying on the Mopar Survivors Display to the same level as Mel. We can’t thank Gregg and Ken enough for stepping up and we will always appreciate Mel and what he created. To submit your vehicle, please contact Gregg and Ken at mkmajor@verizon.net

We believe that one of the most honorable awards you can get at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals is a Celebrity Choice Award. But do you really know what a Celebrity Choice award means? The deemed "celebrities" are notable people in our hobby, such as special guest, engineers who were the visionaries on the cars you love, to club leaders who make it their mission to bring people to the event each year. Getting a Celebrity Choice award is a true honor because that celebrity is picking one car out of the whole Showfield that means something to them. It's not the traditional judging, as there is no point scoring, but a personal reason behind why someone likes your car. 

Celebrity Choice selections takes place on Saturday of the show. Celebrities will walk the grounds to find that one car that gets their pick. You will know you are a winner right away, because there will be a special sticker on your car, as well as a document that notifies you that you won. Your autographed award will be available for pickup on Sunday!

They truly are legends in the Mopar world and we are honored to have them at the show each year.

The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is a large footprint that can be a challenge at times, even for the most experienced attendee. 82 acres, 16+ miles of paved roadway, vendors and cars everywhere…it’s easy to understand how you may start wondering to yourself “where did I see that part or car I want to buy?” “How do I get my purchase from its space to my truck?” “How am I going to do this?” 

Never fear, because we’ve compiled a helpful list of ways that enhance your on-site experience at Carlisle! Thanks for joining us and enjoy your time at the show!

1. BRING CASH - The more the better. It’s hard to negotiate a deal without being able to pay.
2. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - It’s a lot of walking.
3. SUN BLOCK/DRINK LIQUIDS - You’ll be in the sun all day. It’s important to protect yourself and stay hydrated, especially if your weekend outdoors is your first prolonged exposure to the sun for the year.
4. REMEMBER THE SPACE - Take a picture of the space location or write it down. Every space at Carlisle has a disk to designate the space. Look down and you’ll see the space marker. Write down the letter and number. Don’t try to remember the space or the surrounding area. You’ll spend the rest of the day looking for it.
5. COME EARLY - Rare parts and great deals typically happen for the first person to find them. Set up day(s) and the first day of the event are for the serious shoppers.
6. ACT FAST - If you see a great deal, grab it. If you plan to come back later, it will probably be gone.
7. NEGOTIATE - It’s a flea market so don’t be afraid to make a REASONABLE offer.
8. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - Chances are good that you will find something you weren’t planning to find, so keep your eyes open.
9. LOOK EVERYWHERE - Even if you are looking for parts for your brand of vehicle, don’t walk past the vendor selling parts for other models or generations just because you assume there’s no way the vendor has what you want. Give their space a look too. They might not only have it, it may be cheap since it’s not what they typically sell.
10. USE THE CARLISLE EVENTS APP - Use the FREE Carlisle Events app to easily find your way back to a vendor (if you know the row and space). You can also use it to check activity schedules, register for other events, connect with fellow enthusiasts via social media, browse a digital copy of the event guide and more.
11. STAY LATE – There are always deals at Carlisle, but sometimes the best ones happen early on day 1 of a show, or late on its final day. Vendors are typically more willing to negotiate when they are packing up – especially large items.
12. BRING A SHOPPING LIST - Our memories aren’t as good as we think. Write it down. You can even make a list on your phone. Take pictures of what you need.
13. BRING A BAG, CART, ETC. - Parts will get heavy so have a way to carry your purchases. Ask the seller if you can leave heavy parts until later.
14. HAVE IT HAULED - Carlisle Events offers FREE* parts hauling. Keep that in mind if you’re looking at an engine, transmission, truck bed, etc.
15. FREE TAXI SERVICE – Need to get from point A to point B but don’t feel like walking it? Carlisle Events offers a FREE* taxi service. Dial 717-960-6429 to secure a ride. 
16. ASK! - If someone has parts for a vehicle but not the ones you need, ask if the seller has it. It might still be in his truck or at home. Even if he doesn’t, he might know someone who does.
17. KNOW THE VALUE - Do some homework on the parts you’re looking for so you know if the price is a good deal.
18. AVOID THE CROWDS - When you arrive, go to an out-of-the-way area to start rather than following the herd.
19. WALK IT ALL - Don’t miss any rows. The Carlisle Fairgrounds isn’t a perfect grid so make sure you hit every row and space.
20. ADVERTISE - Wear a hat, shirt or signboard that spotlights what you’re looking for.  It just might create a conversation, especially if what you’re searching for is obscure and/or rare. 

*While parts hauling and taxi service are free, donations are graciously accepted.  Donated money goes directly to the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation.
