This will be one of the largest gatherings of privately owned, ex-military vehicles in North America. See military bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, jeeps, small and large trucks, armored personnel carriers, tanks, deactivated artillery, boats, and probably helicopters - any era and nation of origin. We expect between 200 and 300 vehicles in three categories: Judged, Display Only, and For Sale. Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Jeep! Meet experts who can answer questions about vehicles and veterans who can describe what it was like to drive or ride in them. There will be a large vendor show featuring vehicle parts, tires, paint, uniforms, field equipment, medals, insignia, radios, and other military collectibles and artifacts. Several seminars are planned to include US Navy Patrol Boat River, Carter jeep carburetors, and 1940s hair and makeup styling. Special displays will include Military Dodges, Internationals, Halftracks, and WWII British Desert Special Forces.<br>
<br>
MVPA members normally pre-register military vehicles for display but it is possible for MVPA members OR their guests to register and display a vehicle the morning of the show. There is NO CHARGE for Display Only vehicles. Only MVPA members may enter a vehicle for judging.<br>
<br>
A vendor does not have to be a MVPA member. See the website in February 2016 for vendor, registration, and membership information.<br>
