1st Cruise Night in the books!
Our first cruise-in of 2024 is officially in the books, and what a success it was! We had an impressive turnout of 100 cars, all comfortably accommodated in our newly expanded parking lot. Unfortunately, our food truck couldn’t make it due to a power outage at the owner’s home, but our amazing volunteers stepped up and served fresh Marco’s pizza to everyone. With the larger lot, we’re also working on a new sound system and layout. Next week, we’ll be returning to our original entry driveway. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through these updates.
Great Race Spring Rally 2024 in the books!
What an extraordinary weekend it’s been here at Stahls Auto Collection! It all kicked off with an impressive turnout during our Open Hours, drawing visitors from far and wide, including a couple who jetted in from San Diego, CA just to lay eyes on the iconic Leslie and Hannibal 8.

From 11:00 am, our doors swung open to welcome the public, who arrived in their own cherished vehicles, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. By 4:00 pm, the racers began to make their grand entrance. Jason White took to the microphone, regaling the crowd with captivating background stories

Autos for Autism 2023 a success!
We want to express our immense gratitude to all who supported us in raising over $44,000 for the Ted Lindsay Foundation. Unfortunately, the rain hindered our outdoor cruise, but we reduced the entry fee to make it more accessible for everyone to join us inside. Our panelists, including Wayne Carini, Ray Evernham, Mark Hyman, and Bob Pauley, led by emcee Brad Phillips, provided delightful conversation for our VIP ticket holders. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from TV’s Under the Radar Michigan were on hand to the delight of many guests. Additionally, Lance Luce, the organist for the Detroit Red Wings, played the Mighty Wurlitzer and entertained all our guests. We were also thrilled to have Red Wing alum John Ogrodnick
