2026 Vehicle Registration

Thank you for your interest to participate in the 2026 Dayton Concours d'Elegance. Please read the following before continuing on to the entrant submission form.

Entrant Eligibility:

• Be at least 25 years old
• Be preserved or restored to original, factory condition
• Have all components including body, chrome, glass, paint, interior, wheels, lamps, gauges, engine room, and trunk in excellent condition
• Have no major modifications, alterations, or after-market accessories
• Be able to motivate under their own power.

Exceptions To The Above:

• Vehicles in the "Preservation" class must be un-restored and have all original parts except for normal wear-and-tear items such as brake shoes, hoses, belts, wiper blades, bulbs and tires
• Hot Rods, Street Rods and Custom Cars are highly modified vehicles that celebrate automotive creativity and must be unique, representative examples of each type
• Race cars (of any vintage) must be in full race trim. Minor "scars of battle" are to be expected
• "Future Classics" are vehicles that do not fit into any of the structured classics but are deemed by the committee to be of significant interest

Changes in 2026:

• Entrants are required to upload at least 3 pictures of their vehicle at the time of submission (Exterior, Interior, & Engine Bay). Motorcycles, please just upload at least 3 pictures of your bike in general.
• You will not be asked if you want the optional paid entrant package or to provide a donation to Carilion Historical Park until your entry is accepted.

Our goal is to let you know as soon as possible if your entry has been accepted or denied.
