Welcome to the 52nd Annual Sloan Museum Auto Fair, on the grounds of the Flint Cultural Center. This year at Auto Fair we will be showcasing wood-bodied vehicles, with a collection of vehicles from across the decades displayed in Durant Plaza. Joining our feature vehicles will be hundreds of show cars, along with antique tractors, and classic motorcycles. Once again, we will have live music from the talented kids of Third Degree Burns, and DJ Scott Kuhl will be playing all your favorites all weekend long.

As it has been for more than 50 years, all of the proceeds from this annual event support the acquisition, restoration, maintenance, and promotion of the Sloan Museum's unique collection of vehicles and archives. This collection is a significant record of the important historical position Flint and Genesee County hold in the development of the American automobile industry.

There are many ways that you can become involved in this important preservation effort: register and bring your vehicle, bring your family and friends to the show, volunteer to help organize the event, or take advantage of the variety of promotional opportunities we offer to local businesses.

Vehicle Registration is open! Register online here or download the pdf to mail in. Registration is good for both days of the show. On Saturday, vehicle gates are open 7am to 5pm and Sunday 7am until 11am for Judged vehicles and until 1pm for Show vehicles.

The Genesee County Arts Education and Cultural Millage free admission benefit does not apply during Auto Fair weekend; Sloan Museum's regular hours and admission discounts will resume on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

Fun for the kids: Again this year, we will have the Model Car Make and Take. Youngsters aged 11 and under will be able to make their own model vehicle. We will also have our Children's Choice Award – kids 15 and younger will get to vote on their favorite vehicle! They will simply put the registration number of the vehicle they like best. The vehicle with the most votes, wins!
