IN THE HEADLIGHTS

September marks a month-long celebration of station wagons at LeMay – America’s Car Museum. Not only are the beloved family haulers featured on this year’s cross-country roadtrip The Drive Home: Great American Family Vacation, but get ready for the sixth-annual WagonFest PNW, hosted by Avants! The largest gathering of grocery getters in the universe is coming to ACM on Sunday, September 24th, starting at 9 am.

Old and new…foreign and domestic…long roof and longer roof! If it’s a wagon, bring it.

Tickets are $30, which includes a spot in the show and one general admission ticket to the Museum, as well as a WagonFest PNW 2023 sticker. Avants members and LeMay – ACM members save $5 on tickets. Use coupon code “AVANTSFIVE” during the checkout process through www.avants.com

Spectators/passengers are free, so pack up the family truckster and bring the whole gang.
