Background

The Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals is a car show and swap meet dedicated to Mopars and AMCs held in Carlilse, Pennsylvania by Carlisle Events.

Showfield

Standard of Mopar Excellence

Along with the normal showfield, the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals also hold a Standard of Mopar Excellence Judged Competition, which is often referred to as SME and was founded by Dave Ferro of Totally Auto Inc. Cars that are placed in this class are judged against a standard of excellence instead of other cars by knowledgable judges instead of show participants. Each car can earn a possible 100 points which are divided into five separate areas: the engine bay, the interior, the body, the undercarriage, and an operations test.

Giveaways

There are two notable giveaways at the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals: A car giveaway and an engine giveaway. Tickets for both are given in show participants' "goody bags". For both giveaways, one must be present to win. For the 2010 show, the giveaway car was a 1965 Plymouth Valiant and the drawing was held on Saturday July 10 at 5 p.m.

The engine giveaway is in partnership with Mopar Muscle Magazine and Muscle Motors. For the 2010 show, the engine was a small block 408 Stroker and the drawing was held on Sunday July 11 at 3 p.m.
