Registration closed ten days ago, but the real work is just hitting its stride. Acceptance letters have gone out to every 2026 entrant, placements are underway, and load-in instructions arrive this week. Here's where things stand as we count down to Artomobilia on August 29th.

We're excited to welcome PPI Verified and their MyCarCulture community to Artomobilia. Built on the idea that every car has a story, the platform lets enthusiasts discover events, build a digital garage, follow one another, and buy or sell vehicles with confidence. Find their team on the show field August 29th.

A clean engine bay quietly separates a good display from a memorable one, and it's more approachable than people think. The fear is real (electronics, rubber, plastic), so the trick is the right products. Here's a simple SONAX approach that gets showroom results without the risk. Clean it once, and you'll want to show it every time.

You spend more time inside your car than looking at it, and at a show, the interior is the first thing people lean in to see. It's also where the wrong product does lasting damage. Here's a SONAX approach to cleaning and protecting every surface, leather, plastic, fabric, and Alcantara, before Artomobilia.

You can spend hours on paint, but tired wheels make the whole car look tired, and at Artomobilia, people crouch to look. Here's a simple SONAX approach to getting your wheels and tires show-ready, from Full Effect Wheel Cleaner to a lasting ceramic coating. Start where the judges look first.

As we close our nineteenth year, we're glad to welcome Joe Molina as an advisor. The founder of JMPR Public Relations, Joe spent more than forty years as one of the most respected voices in automotive PR. Now a Carmel resident, he joins us as we build toward our twentieth.

We're glad to welcome back Dentons as a supporting sponsor of the Veloce Hangar Party. One of the largest law firms in the world, built on relationships and community presence, Dentons is a natural fit for an evening designed around connection. Friday, August 28th at the Jet Access Center.

Pete's Service Center is new to our sponsor list, but the family behind it has been part of Artomobilia for years, as participants and judges. Serving Indianapolis since 1955 with European car repair and classic restoration, they join us as sponsors this year. We're glad to make it official.

With Artomobilia registration closed, the quiet work begins: sorting hundreds of cars into collector classes, enthusiast corrals, and Palooza groups, then guiding everyone to the right place at the right time on August 29th. Meanwhile, tickets are open for Friday's Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge and Veloce Hangar Party.

All good things come to an end, and open registration for Artomobilia and the Paloozas closes Friday at noon. After that, we organize entrants into final groups, send confirmation emails next week, and follow with load-in instructions and arrival times for a calm load-in to Carmel.

We're glad to welcome back Barrett-Jackson for nearly the tenth year. From an amazing field of cars in the Scottsdale desert in the early 90s to the world's greatest collector car auction today, Craig Jackson and his team have grown a phenomenon. The 2027 Scottsdale Auction runs January 23rd through 31st.

We're pleased to welcome Moyer Fine Jewelers to Artomobilia Weekend. A fixture in the Indianapolis area for more than forty-five years, Dan and his team join us across the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, the Veloce Hangar Party, and as presenting sponsor of the Artistry & Elegance Ladies' Luncheon.

We're glad to welcome Millennium Sounds to Artomobilia for the first time. With more than twenty-five years designing audio, video, and smart technology systems across Indiana, they join our team this year and bring an exceptional racing simulator display to the show field.

Scott Holley and his team return to Artomobilia after an outstanding showing at All-Americana. Holley Motorsports handles Superformance and Hi-Tech Legends vehicles, and they're announcing a new line that pairs heritage shapes with modern drivetrains and a level of quality the originals could never offer.

Pristine Film Solutions has been part of Artomobilia for nearly ten years. Best known for protecting collector cars and daily drivers with paint protection film, coatings, and tint, they've now expanded into residential and commercial film. Tanner, Lloyd, and the team always bring their A game.

Artomobilia is a full day, and not everyone shares your enthusiasm for carburetors. The Artistry & Elegance Ladies' Luncheon gives your significant other a reason to come and a day she'll love, over exceptional food at MATADOR, benefiting St. Mary's Early Childhood Center. Only a handful of seats remain.

Each year the Veloce Hangar Party brings roughly fifty exceptional automobiles and six to eight private aircraft under one roof, a pairing most people never see firsthand. Our sixth year at the Jet Access Center. Lounges, tables, and individual tickets are available now, and the lounges go first.

Artomobilia registration is closing, with only a few cars left in the main show and room filling fast in the Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and Lotus corrals. Here's why we close a month early, and what to expect from acceptance emails and load-in instructions in August.

The day before Artomobilia holds two events worth a long weekend. The Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge runs 10am to 5pm at Motor District, with a Ruth's Chris lunch and your own Porsche welcome. Then the Veloce Hangar Party, our sixth year pairing exceptional cars and aircraft. When they're gone, they're gone.

The rain showed up twice on Saturday. So did everyone else. All-Americana filled Motor District with American icons, headlined by Gary Bartlett's 427 Cobra and a stunning array of Superformance legends from Holley Motorsports. A look back at an exceptional afternoon, with photographs by Michael Wilson. Rain and all.
