Hickory – Registration is now open for The 9th Annual Autolawn Party. In partnership with the 2022 Volvo Club of America National Meet being held in Hickory this September, HMA is excited to announce its 9th Annual Autolawn Party, Saturday, September 10, 2022. Presented by Hickory Museum of Art (HMA) and Paramount Automotive, The Autolawn Party is an outdoor celebration of the road’s number one traveler – the automobile. This year, Autolawn is on the road for the first time ever, featuring participants’ vehicles at LP Frans Stadium, home of the Hickory Crawdads. This event will be held at LP Frans in conjunction with the VCOA Annual Car Show, and spectators will have the opportunity to celebrate over 200 Classic Euro cars, many fitting this year’s theme: Volvo.

Of course, everything else about The 9th Annual Autolawn Euro Classic Car Show will be business as usual – an entry by registration, peer-judged show of European classic cars and motorcycles.

First place prizes will be awarded to entry classifications German, Italian, British, Other European Makes and European Motorcycles. Additional classifications may be added based on participation or theme such as Spectator’s Choice, Best Volvo, Hagerty Youth Judged Best in Show, and Best in Show (Overall). The public will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award. Voting takes place between 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., with only one ballot per person.

The Euro Classic Car Show offers a wide-range of high quality, original European vehicles in an intimate, yet informal setting, without the pressure of a traditional Concours event. The fundraising event to benefit HMA educational programming features a Euro Classic Car Show, youth judging program, art exhibits, live music, food court, beer garden, and more.
