Automotion 2026

Muscle Car. Pony Car. Trailer Queen. Land Yacht. Antique vs. Vintage vs. Classic. Lead Sled. Drophead.

Familiar with any of those terms?

If yes, you’re probably already a fan of Automotion Classic Car Show and we look forward to welcoming you back. If no, make plans to drive to Wisconsin Dells the weekend of May 16th-17th, 2026 to learn the lingo from some of the most passionate car folks this side of the Mississippi, a passion that often runs in the family. Some 1,200 classic rides are expected at the 40th Annual Automotion Classic Car Show. There will be music and food, car corral, swap meet and awards presentation too.

At Automotion, we’re bringing movie and TV magic to life at “Hollywood at Mt. Olympus.” See some of the most iconic cars ever on screen, including the Blues Brothers’ Bluesmobile, Scooby-Doo’s Mystery Machine, the Batmobile, and Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1. Don’t forget your camera—these replicas are picture-perfect!
