Happy Spring aka Car Season. Never know what we’re going to get anymore — a rained-out Summer or a Spring-like Winter. I choose the latter. Hopefully the early good weather bodes well for an active and successful 2024 car show season.
As of early March, 2024, the following is the remnants of the 2023 Car Show Calendar — there is very little information available yet about 2024 dates and shows yet, but that’s coming. But the end of March I will start to organize what I do have and start to share what I do have so please hang tight!
Please send all updates, corrections, additions, deletions and suggestions to info@portlandmotorclub.com or call Kal Rogers, manager at Portland Motor Club at 207-233-9970 with additions, deletions and changes. We are trying to have a very comprehensive list with accurate times, dates, details and contact information. Please help us to keep making this better — a clean list is a happy list!
Wishing you a safe and healthy (and much less soggy) 2024!

“Car enthusiasts who come and display their classic cars will take in the beautiful views of the western mountains and get a free bag to pick apples,” said according to John Harker, operator of the orchard. “Our 40-year-old McIntosh trees are loaded with fruit, and we will also have a special low price for families interested in picking whole trees for making cider, apple sauce and pies.”
“We also expect a number of newer models of fancy and sporty cars,” said Steve Woodsum, one of the sponsors and owner of Great Northern Motor Works.
The Apple Shed Kitchen will have cider, cider donuts and many other bakery goodies available. Free back of apples to all show cars. Great food trucks on site.
