Do you want to let thousands of enthusiasts know what you are selling in your car corral space at Carlisle? It doesn’t matter what show you’re attending, if you’ve purchased a car corral spot, we’ve got a cool opportunity for you. Carlisle Events is offering you additional FREE exposure via our social media pages (Facebook and Twitter) to promote your presence at Carlisle.

The process is simple but does come with a few rules. First, e-mail no more than four (4) photos of your car to SocialShowroom@CarlisleEvents.com. When you do, please be sure to tell us your name, vendor number, show or shows that you’ve bought car corral space for and the important details about your vehicle that you’re trying to sell. In addition, please share with us your car corral space number. If you aren’t sure of it, we’ll look it up for you. This way, when we post the photos, we can encourage guests to visit your space during the event.

Once we’ve confirmed everything matches up, we’ll post your photos. Photos will be posted only once by Carlisle Events and will ultimately end up in a photo gallery dedicated to the Social Media Showroom. Only one post per registered space though. That means if you own one car corral spot, you can share one set of photos. If you have secured two car corral spots, you can share two sets of photos, three spots/three sets of photos and so on. Again, you MUST be a registered car corral participant to take advantage of this offer and photos will be posted only on the show page related to your purchase and the general Carlisle Events Facebook page. Photos will be posted once a week in an album specific to this program and will ONLY be posted within a 14 day window prior to the show.

Thank you for your support and good luck selling your ride via the additional exposure provided by the Carlisle Events Social Media Showroom.

Be part of the auction excitement on Thursday and Friday of Fall Carlisle at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center for the ever-popular collector car auction. This auction sees over 500 cars cross the block. In addition, Carlisle Events and Carlisle Auctions are pleased to implement a "Free Unless Sold" guarantee.

The guarantee means almost literally what it states. Any consigned collector car (25 years or older) that does not sell as part of the auction will see most of the registration fees refunded to the consignee. Certain exceptions apply as it relates to refunds. Fees must be paid at the time of registration, either onsite or in advance, but no matter the time slot the vehicle runs, if it is 25 years or older and doesn't sell, it's free!

In addition to offering "Free Unless Sold," Carlisle Events and Carlisle Auctions are also offering special "feature vehicle" slots. These slots are limited, but if selected, will be positioned within the Carlisle Expo Center. When applying to consign, select "feature vehicle" within the registration paperwork. At that point, the Carlisle Auctions' team will make a determination on inclusion.

If accepted, the fee is $600 ($400 for the consignment and $200 for featured status). If the featured consignment doesn't sell, only the $400 consignment fee is refunded (call for details).

Finally, if you are wondering what type of collector cars are available, the categories frequently look like this: Muscle Car, Street Rod, Classic Car, Antique, Luxury, Exotic, Race Car, Sports Car, Specialty Truck and Motorcycle.

Auction information, including consignments and forms are available via the Carlisle Auctions web page (link below).

Parking is FREE in any Carlisle operated parking lot on Sunday and ticket prices are reduced from the standard admission of previous days.

Contact Carlisle Events today at 717-243-7855 if you want to make a full weekend of it and be part of some of the world’s largest automotive events.
