Halloween is one of the best times to get those Classic Cars you have been putting to rest in the garage out for a show. Especially when you get to decorate it, park it alongside a bunch of other cool machines, and spend the day handing out candy. That’s exactly what’s happening in Houston, Texas, where a local Mopar club’s annual Halloween Classic Car Show is bringing a little spooky fun to the car scene on Halloween itself. And the venue? Let’s just say it suits Halloween a little too well.
Classic Cars Get The Halloween Treatment In Houston
Presented by the Houston Mopar Connection Club, the show is now in its 18th year. Owners roll in with their classics dressed up in full Halloween gear, while visitors wander the displays and hit up a good old-fashioned trunk-or-treat. Costumes are encouraged, so bring a candy bag. And that’s a pretty fun combination. Anyone who’s spent time around classic car shows knows how much effort owners pour into their cars. Some spend months getting the paint right, rebuilding engines and hunting down original parts. Letting them goof around with their rides for a day is a nice change of pace. There will also be food trucks and a fall vendor market, making it a family-friendly day out rather than a gathering exclusively for people who can identify a Mopar engine from across a parking lot.
A Classic Car Show At A Museum Full Of Historic Hearses
The show takes place at the National Museum of Funeral History, which probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think about a Saturday surrounded by classic cars. The Houston museum covers everything from historic hearses to funeral traditions, so the classics in the parking lot won’t be the only old metal on the property. Put that together with Halloween decorations and a lot full of dressed-up cars, and you’ve got about the most on-theme setting a car show could ask for. It runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 31. Entry is $10 per person or $15 per family, and tickets are only sold at the door the day of. Museum admission costs extra. Between the cars, candy, food trucks and Halloween displays, there’s plenty to keep everyone busy. And frankly, any event that gets classic cars out of the garage and kids running around them in costumes deserves a little attention.
