The St. Petersburg Motor Classic Show is held in beautiful South Straub Park along the waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg. The show, in its 24th year, is organized by the St Petersburg Yacht Club, with a dedicated show committee and volunteers from both Club members and interested members of the public.

The show, which is free to the for spectators, is open to both Club Members and non-members, and features a carefully curated selection of 250+ vehicles from the 1880’s through today. There is something for every motoring taste, from antiques and classics through modern exotics, and even boats or motorcycles.

There are 25 classes covering every era of motoring, each judged by a team of qualified judges. Additionally, a Best of Show is awarded.

The St. Petersburg Motor Classic is a non-profit 501(C)3 organization that supports and donates proceeds from the event to local charities, to assist them in their amazing efforts.
