The Carlisle GM Nationals Is Locked And Loaded For 2023

 

The Carlisle GM Nationals is going to have some great specialty displays that you won’t want to miss. You’ll want to check out the 40 years of the Pontiac Fiero, 50 years of the Buick Regal, and the Malaise Era vehicles. These displays are the perfect match for the rest of the GM vehicles that will be at the Carlisle Fairgrounds June 23-24.

Building T will be ground zero for these two displays and should include at least a half dozen, if not more of each vehicle.  For the Fiero, guests can enjoy a timeline of sorts showcasing some of the best Fieros dating back to its launch for the 1984 model year.  Designed by George Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti, over 370,000 Fieros were produced over their five-year run.  In addition to the cars, the Mid-Atlantic Fiero Owners Association hosts a variety of events, including club activities, technical how-to seminars, and more.

 

For Buick Regal lovers, they too can revisit their vehicle’s glory days.  The alphabet soup of Regal bodies will ALL be honored, including those viewed as luxury vehicles as well as those with a nod to performance.  The Regal was a star on the NASCAR track, on TV, and even in the movies.  For 2023, it’ll also be a star of the GM Nationals.  Much like the Fiero, there will be additional activities, the scope of which will be announced closer to the event.  In addition to the Regal, the GM Nationals will honor the 120+ year history of Buick.  Cars will be positioned within Building T and will aim to include Buicks from different eras of production.

Additional Featured Displays include one focused on 4th Gen Camaros and Firebirds, a 3rd Gen Camaro and Firebirds “show within the show” called the 3rd Gen Nationals, and all-new, a Malaise Era display.  The “malaise era” refers to the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s and included some of GM’s often forgotten vehicles. This year at the GM Nationals, expect a cool display tent on the NPD Showfield that encompasses a lot of vehicles from the era, specifically the odd and off-the-wall stuff; stuff many car lovers have forgotten about.

Each anniversary is a Featured Display and as such, will be vetted by an application process and the event manager.  The portal for applying is open and available by way of CarlisleEvents.com and will be accepting submissions through at least May.

Finally, Fiero, Regal, Buick, and 4th Gen stardom isn’t limited to just Building T.  Registration for the Showfield is now open and will no doubt welcome even more of these historic masterpieces.  Apply today for consideration and if accepted, owners not only get to be front and center at the event, but promoted via social media, and within the event guide too.  Don’t have something that fits the bill for these displays, but own a car or truck that’s show-worthy?  Register online and get full details on the event, links to purchase tickets, and more right here.
