Gates open for show cars in the Central Lot & Exotics Lot as early as 7:30 am.
The main lot (Central Lot) is controlled by gates and C&O staff manages access. The Central Lot includes the C&O Feature Area and other monthly themed special display areas. The goal of the Central Lot is to highlight featured & themed vehicles and still maintain variety by only allowing a certain number of the same makes & types of vehicles within this lot. C&O is an all-makes, all models show and the Central Lot is a reflection of that mission. Show cars can enter the Central Lot through Gate 2, Gate 3, or the Classics Only Gate 4.
The Exhibit Lots are open to all makes and models on a first come first serve basis. This lot is not controlled by gates and C&O staff does not manage access. Vehicles in Exhibit Lot 1 or 2 may park earlier than 7:30 AM and leave anytime. This lot is typically used for very special daily drivers, those show cars that do not want to commit to staying until 12:00 PM, motorcycles, late arrivers, and group/car club parking (as we do not allow large groups to park together in the Central Lot).
