Previous Participation Does Not Guarantee Acceptance

Participation in previous JCCS events does not guarantee acceptance into the 2026 show.

All vehicles are reviewed individually each year based on the current registration criteria, vehicle condition, authenticity, presentation, event balance, and available space. A vehicle’s participation in a previous JCCS event does not automatically qualify it for future events.

Please note that some vehicles displayed at JCCS in previous years were not officially registered or approved through the standard JCCS registration process. These instances have been documented and will not be considered for participation in the 2026 event.

To ensure fairness and consistency for all applicants, every vehicle must be submitted and evaluated through the official JCCS registration process each year.

Trailer & Tow Vehicle Parking

Please note that trailer and tow vehicle parking near the venue is not guaranteed and may be unavailable due to limited space.

Owners are responsible for arranging transportation and parking for their vehicles. JCCS® cannot guarantee trailer parking accommodations and will not issue refunds due to the lack of available trailer or tow vehicle parking. We will update any information as it becomes available.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Vehicle Review Criteria

All vehicles are reviewed individually and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Factors considered may include, but are not limited to:

Exterior condition (paint, rust, patina, primer, mismatched body panels, dents, cleanliness, wraps or decals covering damage, etc.)
Interior condition
Engine bay condition
Overall quality, workmanship, creativity, and appropriateness of modifications
Historical significance, rarity, and presentation
Operational and drivable condition
Overall fit with the spirit and standards of JCCS®

The items above are examples only and should not be considered a complete list of evaluation criteria.

While some vehicles may not meet the standards or needs of the event, we sincerely respect every owner’s individual style and encourage participation in the many excellent automotive events available throughout the community.

All applications are carefully reviewed by the JCCS registration team. If a vehicle is determined to be ineligible for participation for any reason, the decision of JCCS® is final and non-negotiable.
