Admission to the Cruise-In is free and all makes and models of vehicles are invited to be a part of the excitement.
“After two years of exceeding our entry limit of 100 cars, we’re excited to see the growth and excitement that this year’s Cruise-In will bring,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Of course, our success each year hasn’t come without the generous support from the community, which includes the local car clubs and enthusiasts as well as partners like Gaudin Ford and Keep Memory Alive. The Cruise-In has become one of our favorite events associated with Barrett-Jackson Week. Each year it becomes more difficult to choose only three of our favorite rides for the Barrett-Jackson Choice Awards.”

Barrett-Jackson president, Steve Davis and vice president of consignment, Gary Bennett, will present the coveted “Barrett-Jackson Choice Award” to three Cruise-In entries, along with the “Barrett-Jackson Participant’s Choice Award,” which is selected by those with vehicles in the show.
