A Wealth of Car Shows Around the Country

A much-anticipated highlight of the 2022 season promises to be the reimagined concours previously known as the Concours d’Elegance of America, which has moved from Plymouth, Mich., to Detroit and under the management of Hagerty, the classic-car insurer. An expected field of 140 cars will include Cars of Harley Earl, Cars of Woodward Avenue and Detroit Autorama customs and concepts. detroitconcours.com

Oct. 4 to 7: Hershey Park (adjacent parking lot), Hershey, Pa.

Admission: Free

The diversity of the Eastern fall meet of the Antique Automobile Club of America, an end-of-season event for enthusiasts since 1955, nearly defies description. For many who attend, the main attraction is a sprawling swap meet where one can buy virtually every part needed to assemble something like a Ford Model A. But there’s also an area for vintage vehicles, mainly postwar, offered for sale. The final day has an enormous everyone-welcome show of cars ranging from the industry’s earliest models through modern classics. hershey.aaca.com/eastern-division-fall-meet/
