Thank You to Our Sponsors

Thank you once again this year to the LeMay family for their generosity, to our returning Presenting Sponsor, AAA Washington, as well as to our other sponsors who make this event possible.

History of the LeMay Car Show & How It Works

Over 300 vehicles from the LeMay collection are housed at the existing Museum located on the historic grounds of Marymount Academy, and the Museum is open to the public year-round for tours, however, there are still more LeMay collection vehicles housed at other locations. Once a year on this one special day, the LeMay family graciously opens their home grounds to the public and offers the opportunity to see over 300 more collector cars within their private garages.

This annual event is open to the public from 9:00 am-5:00 pm. Individuals who would like to show their personal collector cars at this event are welcome to bring those vehicles for display on the show fields at Marymount Academy (Click Here for more information about the NEW "Collector Car Showcase" portion of this event). Gates open at 8:00 am for collector cars, and parking is first-come, first-serve; all other general public parking for the LeMay Car Show is at nearby school and church parking lots.

Vendors will be on-site at both the LeMay Grounds at the Marymount Academy Grounds offering food and beverages for sale, so don't leave your wallet at home!

Collector Car Showcase

For the first year, we will have a judged car show within our event -- open to the first 120 cars that enter! Lance Lambert of the Vintage Vehicle Show will be the Master of Ceremonies (the show will be taped and broadcast nationwide), and the price to participate is only $25, which includes the judging entrance fee and admits one person to the event. Other car clubs and collector cars are also welcome for non-judged display at Marymount, as usual, and all collector cars enter at Marymount (325 152nd Street East Tacoma, WA 98445)
