Our Concours at Clark welcomes families to journey through automotive history as you explore a showcase of cars representing vehicles throughout the decades, all stationed here on campus. Approximately 100 cars will be on site to check out, including cars from the Studebaker Museum and Amelia Earhart's 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton Convertible. Also, be sure to join us inside the Atrium in Bernard Hall for a special Hoffman Family exhibit.

Make a day of it by planning for a snack or lunch from one of the local food trucks that will be parked right here on campus! Enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine from Franky's Tacos, delicious pizza with Roundbelly's Pizza, a refreshing ice cream treat scooped by Bonnie Doon, and tasty pastries and coffee from Victorian Pantry!

Cars must be pre-registered by Tuesday, May 14 in order to show at the event. Registration is now closed. We are looking forward to seeing a wide variety of cars and trucks from throughout the decades!
Experience Amelia Earhart's 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton Convertible
The Concours at Clark Car Show proudly welcomes American aviator Amelia Earhart's 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton Convertible to the event.
According to the Car and Driver article, Amelia Earhart's Cord Returns to Its Former Glory after Being Lost for Decades by Brendan McAleer, "With its restoration complete, Earhart's Cord made its initial public showing at the 2021 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where Concours judges placed it second in the Class C, American Classic category. The Cord's provenance even earned it a place in the National Historic Vehicle Register." In addition, it appeared at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy and most recently, at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in 2023.
