                                    REGISTRATION - FAQS

Q:    What is your registration process?

A:    You can arrive anytime starting at 7:00am and proceed to the event. Our personnel will direct you and you 
        will park first and then collect your registration packet in the Community Building. If you are pre-registered, 
        you can pick up your packet here. If registering the day of the show, you can register in this same location.

        NOTE: We suggest you enter the venue from SR-75 at Hadley Street (road on the north side of the First         National Bank). Parking on Main Street and a small section of Milton is now reserved for pre-paid car club
        parking only.

        motorcycles, tractors, and now Side-by-Sides (new for 2024).
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Can I register more than one vehicle?

A:    Yes, you may register and bring as many vehicles as you wish. We have no limit as to the number of 
        vehicles a person can enter as long as they have a valid drivers and current insurance on each vehicle
        entered. You will need to complete one registration form for each vehicle you are entering.

        access the site using the link below, click "Enter" to enter the site, and click on the "Flyer" button:
        https://coatesvilleindiana.org/CarShow.html
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    When does pre-registration start and end?

A:    Pre-registration for next year’s show opens the day of the current show. For example, for the 2024 show,
        online registration opened on July 15th, 2023 for pre-registration. All pre-registrations online and mail-in
        will close on July 6th, 2024 (the first Saturday of July). This is done to ensure that any mailed payments
        have time to reach us prior to the show date.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Can I register the day of the show?

A:    Yes, you may register onsite the day of the show starting at 7:00 am.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    I see that online registration has closed, does this mean I cannot get in the show?

A:    No. If you are no longer able to register on-line, this means we have closed down pre-registrations. You 
        will only encounter this if you attempt to register on-line within two weeks of the actual show date. You 
        can still show up for the event and register in person the day of the show.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    I can no longer make it to the show. Do you offer registration refunds?

A:    New starting with the 2024 show, we will have a refund process if you register in advance. For 2024, As 
        long as you notify us prior to May 15th, 2024, you will receive a full refund (note: that date will change to
        March 1st in 2025). If you notify us on May 15th or later, but prior to the show date, and no one has 
        claimed your goody bag, we will roll your fee to the 2025 show. However, we will only roll it once. If you 
        cannot make the 2025 show, you will have to register and pay again for the 2026 show. We will not roll 
        any fees over more than one year. If you notify us on the show day or later, or do not notify us at all, your 
        fee will be considered a donation.

        Do note that if you registered and paid for the show in advance and you cannot make it and have not
        requested a refund or fee rollover, you are still entitled to your goody bag. You can have someone pick it
        up for you at the show or contact us after the show to make arrangements to pick it up. We will only hold
        goody bags for two weeks following the conclusion of the show.  
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    I pre-registered and am bringing another car than I listed. Is that ok?

A:    Your vehicle pre-registration guarantees your spot at the event regardless of the vehicle you have 
        registered. If you need to change your vehicle, please email us at [email protected] or call Steve 
        at 317-771-9062 so we can update this on our end and update your windshield placard. Please do so at 
        least two weeks prior to the show. We cannot accommodate changes if they are within 2 weeks of the show.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Can I transfer my registration to someone else if already I pre-registered and paid and can no longer make 
        it to the show?

A:    Yes, you may transfer your registration. Please call Steve at 317-771-9062 with your information along with 
        the information of the person and vehicle you wish to transfer your registration too. We will then update our
        records and the registration packet to the name and vehicle of that person. Please do so at least two weeks
        prior to the show. We cannot accommodate changes if they are within 2 weeks of the show. We cannot 
        guarantee a shirt size change if you were eligible to receive one.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Will I get an event t-shirt as part of my registration?

A:    We have always guaranteed a t-shirt to the first 100 people that pre-register and pay. That said, we now 
        receive more than 100 pre-registrations. This means we will not have shirts available for those that choose 
        to register the day of the show, sorry.

        If you Pre-register before the annual cutoff date, which is May 15th in 2024 (which will change to March 1st,
        for the 2025 show), then yes, we guarantee a shirt in your selected size no matter how many pre-registers
        we receive. Any pre-registrations after the cutoff date will not receive one. It’s best to register and pay in
        advance by the cutoff date to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Will I receive a dash plaque as part of my registration?

A:    Dash plaques are guaranteed to the first 100 people that pre-register and pay for the event. Like the t-shirts,
        we typically receive more pre-registrations than we have dash plaques, so these will sell our during the pre-
        registration period.  The Dash Plaque date has also been revised and is the same cutoff dates as the shirts.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Why did you move your cutoff date back from May 15th to March 1st for T-Shirts and Dash Plaques starting 
        with the 2025 Car Show?

A:    Every year these items sell out during pre-registration. This change was done to help cut costs and remove 
        the tight timeframe constraints we have by having the cutoff date so close to the actual show date. Doing so
        eliminates any rush costs associated with these orders and we no longer have to deal with the tight time
        constraint. Although March 1st might seem like an early date, it frees us up during our busier time in the 
        spring to focus on the other elements to put on a quality car show for you. Unlike other shows, we typically
        produce 150-200 shirts annually. This earlier date change does not impact the quality of the show. It only
        means that if you pre-registered in the past to get these items, you may have to do it earlier than you have
        in the past.  If you register after March 1s,t 2025 for the 2025 show and future shows, you will no longer
        receive these items. Whether we get 100 people that pre-register or 250 that do prior to this new March 1st
        date, we will still guarantee a shirt and dash plaque to all that do by this date.
​        ______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    What do I get for my registration fee?

A:    This depends on whether you pre-register for the show and if so, when you pre-register for the show. What 
        is included in the registration package can vary from year-to-year. Additionally, if you register the day of the
        show, it really is what is left over. We only provide goody bags for the first 300 that register, so it is always 
        best to register early and to pre-register to get an event shirt and dash plaque.  Our registration packages 
        are as follows:

        show for next year’s show. At times we may also offer an email incentive to attendees that have attended 
        and/or pre-registered for the show in the past. When these incentives are offered, they are for a very limited
        period and are not repeated.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    I was a winner at the show, do I get free registration next year?

A:    No. We only reserve a few spots with a waived registration fee for our primary sponsors (that have a 
        vehicle) and the winner of our annual Car Show Package raffle prize. 

______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    I just want to come and park my classic car in the show area, but I don't want to register or be in
        competition for an award. Can I do that?

A:    Sorry, but no, we do not allow that. We are very limited on space and need every space possible for paid
        entrants. For that reason, we are not able to allow vehicles that want to show and display only into the show
        area. Any vehicle without a windshield placard displayed once registration has closed will be asked to 
        remove their vehicle from the show area.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Q:    Can I show my car at the show and offer it for sale as long as I pay the entry fee.

A:    Absolutely, we have no problem with that. We just ask is that you do not place "For Sale" signs on any of 
        the windows of the vehicle. If offering a vehicle for sale, please place your "For Sale" sign on the seat inside 
        the vehicle.
