We hosted our second Orphan Car Show here at Stahls Motors and Music Experience on Sept 19th, and to put it simply, the turnout was everything we hoped for and more!

If you aren’t familiar with the concept, an “orphan car” is a vehicle from a make that is no longer manufactured or imported. Walking the grounds feels a bit like stepping into a parallel automotive universe – names and badges you read about in history books, all polished up, running, and parked right here in Chesterfield!

Even with the unpredictable weather keeping us on our toes, the energy was amazing from the moment the first engines rolled in during those early morning hours. Seeing cars like the stunning 1934 Packard as well as classic mid-century convertibles and unique open-class builds parked side-by-side never gets old.

More than anything, we want to say thank you! Thank you to the dedicated owners who drove out, prepped their cars, and shared their passion with us IN THE RAIN! And thank you to every spectator who walked through the gates to spend the day surrounded by automotive history.
