Entry Criteria
The Hunnert Car Pilup is a Traditional Hot Rod and Custom show. That means that the cars that are admitted into the show are traditional 40’s, 50’s, and early 60’s style hot rods and customs. If you’re not sure what that means, you need to ask someone before planning a trip to the show. Our criteria inspection is thorough and we do turn cars away. One good way to judge if you car may meet the criteria is to look at the pics from previous years.

We are not trying to be eliteist or snobby, nor are we trying to piss anyone off or say that their car is not “cool” or “good”. The Hunnert Car Pileup is a show for a specific set of vehicles and style of craftsmanship. For those of you who are grumbling about your car being too new, or otherwise not meeting our criteria, you wouldn’t want a sport tuner Honda Civic at your model T show… would you? The Hunnert Car Pileup was built on the the spirit of “Tradition,” so we intend to keep it that way. Its the reason the show was started, and the reason it continues.

There is plenty of parking in front of the gate for the cars that don’t quite meet the criteria. There is quite a show on both sides of the gate! If your car, bike or scooter gets get turned away at the door, don’t take it personally. We still want you to come and have a good time with us.

Project Cars section:
The “Project” cars section is meant to give people a chance to show off their work if the car isn’t quite driveable yet.  This space will also be available for dragsters and other race cars that are not street legal. The same criteria rules apply though, except the trailer rule. Project cars can be trailered in, but the trailers must be out of the show by 9am. All project cars must be pre-approved, so check with us before trailering your project to the show. The project car section is strictly limited to 15 cars. Contact Magnet for details.

If you are not sure what these criteria mean or you’re unsure if your car fits, look at pictures of cars from our previous shows or email us with specific questions.
