Most car enthusiasts have a natural interest in almost anything mechanical and almost definitely in anything self-propelled. We put engines on coolers and barstools! So, it’s hard to deny that if you’re into cars, you’re probably into other modes of transportation. That includes motorcycles, ATVs, scooters, go-karts, campers, mopeds, boats, planes, trains and so on. To accommodate this general interest in almost anything with an engine and/or wheels, we’ve opened up some vending spaces for those under the "Anymotive" umbrella.

If you’re looking for a place to buy or sell any of the above-mentioned vehicles or corresponding parts and accessories, this is the place for you. This is the place to sell any vehicle that’s not the traditional car, truck, van or SUV as well as parts for those vehicles. If you’re in the market for a motorcycle, trike, ATV/UTV, side-by-side, bicycle, golf cart, airplane, boat, snowmobile, camper, barstool with an engine or whatever your interest may be, this is the place to buy or sell it.

Call our office today at 717-243-7855 to book your Anymotive Vending Space(s)!

With Fall Carlisle closing the season, the 8,100 vending spaces onsite are going to once again be filled with collector car memorabilia, merchandise, literature and more. In addition, the car corral will fill with cars spanning automotive history.

Gates open at 7AM on Wednesday and we welcome a nonstop slew of vendors and enthusiasts from the world over, all preparing for one of the best collector car events in the world, Fall Carlisle. Standard gate admission and parking apply, but the nature of the day allows for more shopping space, a more personal interaction with vendors as well as getting a true lay of the land for the remaining event days. This day also serves as a preview day for the two-day auction taking place at the nearby Carlisle Expo Center and presented by Carlisle Auctions.

We all need cool stuff to decorate our garages, she sheds, shops, man caves or whatever you call yours, and Fall Carlisle has it! We’ve found lots of cool vendors at several of our events selling art they’ve made from car parts as well as other automotive-themed works. Now we’re going to highlight those vendors in Building T in our Shop Art Gallery. Any “automotive artist” can purchase a table to sell their automotive artwork in one dedicated area!

Examples of eligible items include desk lamps made from valve covers, clocks made from timing chains and gears, trophies made from rods and pistons and…well, YOU tell us. To be a part of the Shop Art Gallery, contact Ed Buczeskie at 717-243-7855 x131 or email edb@carlisleevents.com.

The thrill of the hunt is alive and well at Fall Carlisle every Fall, but did you know that in addition to the cars available within the car corral, Carlisle Auctions offers a two-day collector car auction on Thursday and Friday of the show? It's true! In fact, Carlisle Auctions runs 400+ lots across the block and many are consigned under the "Free Unless Sold" guarantee*.

The guarantee means 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.

Carlisle Auctions also offers special "featured vehicle" slots. These slots are limited, but if selected, will be positioned within the Carlisle Expo Center. When applying to consign, select "featured vehicle" within the registration paperwork. At that point, the Carlisle Auctions' team will make a determination on inclusion.

If accepted, an additional $300 featured vehicle fee will apply. If the featured consignment doesn't sell, only the consignment fee is refunded (call 717-960-6400 for details).

The auction offers decades of past, present, and future classics. From white glove, best of show consignments, to head turning daily drivers, you'll see it all!

In the meanwhile, if you are interested in machines that fall under the aforementioned groups or you have something you'd like to consign, contact Carlisle Auctions today.

Not looking to buy or sell, but simply want to stop in and watch the auction excitement in person? Admission to Fall Carlisle offers reciprocating access to the auction. Either way, the auction and the Carlisle Expo Center are located just a few blocks west of Gate 3; 100 K St, Carlisle, PA 17013, to be exact.

Women's Oasis Vendor Application

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. 

 

Help those in need at most events this season.  Give generously to members of local Lions Clubs as they staff our gates (varies by event) and accept donations for their Lions International Disaster Relief program.  Look for Lions in a yellow vest with a black donation tin in hand.  Last year, with your support, $10,000 was raised and donated to the Carlisle branch of the Salvation Army to support humanitarian relief efforts in war-torn Ukraine.  This year, your support benefits those in need, foreign and domestic; all by way of the Lions International Disaster Relief Program.  Can’t donate in person?  Learn more about the Lions program online by way of the links below.
