car show

Vehicle display event

A car show is an event where automobiles are displayed for viewing, judging, or sale.

Shows range from informal gatherings of enthusiasts in parking lots to major industry exhibitions unveiling new models.

Some focus on specific types—classic cars, hot rods, imports—while others welcome all comers.

We took the restored Mustang to a car show last weekend.
