Carlisle Events Goes to Zephyrhills (Florida) for Fall AutoFest

Latest Collector Car Event Launches Sunshine State Expansion in November

Monday, October 15, 2012

For the first time since the early 1990's, Carlisle Events heads out of state to fully promote, present and produce a collector car event. Fall AutoFest, held November 8-11 at the massive Festival Park in Zephyrhills, Florida, will host auto enthusiasts of all backgrounds and from multiple states. The event will see them converge on the grounds for four days that include a swap meet, car corral and a two-day collector car auction.

As part of the weekend, Festival Park will be transformed into Carlisle's new home-away-from-home. The facility will once again play host to thousands of enthusiasts and a great array of collector cars, restoration parts and memorabilia. These items will be spread across the massive 207-acre facility where enthusiasts will have a spacious forum to buy, sell and trade with total confidence.

The swap meet and car corral allow for personal interaction between the buyer and seller. Fall AutoFest also serves as the final car-themed event of the year for Carlisle Events and yet another opportunity regionally for enthusiasts who are looking to find a missing piece or part for their winter restoration project, a knick-knack for the “man cave” or special piece of automotive history. These items and so many more can and will be found by the cart load.

Car corral excitement also runs deep as a smorgasbord of autos are for sale by owner. Each vehicle represents a particular place and time in automotive history and with sellers onsite, would be buyers can deal directly with them. The car corral provides such a unique experience that buyers come from near and far, hoping to find a diamond in the rough.

Finally, the two-day auto auction at Zephyrhills highlights more great automotive history. Nearly 300 cars are expected to be moved on Friday and Saturday. The Friday auction begins at 11 a.m. while Saturday's starts at 9:30 a.m. This exciting feature pits buyers against each other as they attempt to snag the best deal possible before the hammer goes down. Buy, sell, trade or just enjoy the atmosphere; it doesn't matter the level of interest. Being part of Zephyrhills Fall AutoFest is a must for any automotive enthusiast.
