Appleton Old Car Show Photos: Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Custom Trucks And More!

Here’s Jim’s fifth gallery of photos from this awesome looking show!

(Words and Photos by Jim Hrody) Appleton, Wisconsin is located in the east-central portion of the state, about 30 miles southwest of Green Bay. Each July, the Appleton Old Car Show takes over a 36 acre piece of land known as Pierce Park. This show is not relegated to one little corner. Every available area had something to see, whether it was under a canopy of trees, in an open section of grass, on the asphalt of a parking lot, or around the baseball fields.

Historically, 1000-plus cars and trucks, ranging from the brass-era to the late smog-era are in attendance. This year was the 44th annual version, with the newest eligible model year being 1992. Also on hand were a sizeable swap meet, a craft fair, and food trucks scattered around.

This show has been featured on My Classic Car in the past, but still, I had no idea of the scale of things for my first visit. We arrived about 10:00 am, which normally wouldn’t seem too late, but still had to drive around for a half hour hunting for somewhere, anywhere to park.
Finally found a spot, though seven blocks away. At the end of the day, this show is a must-see.
