Familiar with any of those terms?

If no, make plans to drive to Wisconsin Dells the weekend of May 16-17, 2026 to learn the lingo from some of the most passionate car folks this side of the Mississippi, a passion that often runs in the family. Nearly 1,000 classic rides are expected at the 40th Annual Automotion Classic Car Show. There will be music, food, car corral, and vendor meet too.
