Since 1981 the KAARC has presented the Red Barns Spectacular on the grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum.
Automobiles and auto clubs from all over the Midwest attend our show. Started as a collaborative fundraising effort between the museum and the KAARC, the Red Barns Spectacular has grown since its founding, boasting three distinct cars shows on the day of the event: the KAARC Judged Show, exclusive to qualified show cars; the Driver’s Choice show, open to all cars 25 years or older; and the Vintage Trailer show, for antique and restored camper trailers of all kinds. The Red Barns Spectacular is also host to one of the largest automotive swap meet in West Michigan, with vendors varying from crafters to car parts, and includes a large car for sale corral.
Every Year we feature a different vehicle or club
In 2022 we were pleased to spotlight the hundredth anniversary of Checker Motors with the Checker Club of America.
Last year, we celebrated the KAARC’s own 60 year history.
For 2024, we’re honored to host the National Woodie Club.
Join in with your Woodie!
Thank you John Irving for getting in touch with a little history of this car.
It has been in his family since 1934, bought brand new by his grandfather. They named her ‘End O Lane’ after the garage at the end of the lane where she was housed. Today, she has 102,000 original miles on her odometer.
