The Heritage Invitational returns April 9–11 to Ten Tenths Motor Club, delivering a can’t-miss weekend for automotive enthusiasts — blending Friday’s high-energy on-track experiences with a world-class concours on Saturday.

More than 110 rare and collectible vehicles will be showcased on Saturday, April 11, spanning well over a century of automotive history — from early icons to modern performance machines. The event celebrates not just cars, but the artistry, engineering and innovation that continue to shape car culture worldwide.

Three curated specialty classes will anchor this year’s concours, offering deeper storytelling and rare, up-close access to a diverse assemblage of historically significant vehicles.

100 Years of Pontiac

The display will range from a 1958 Chieftain to a generation-defining 1979 Trans Am, alongside a modern-era 2008 G8 GT imported from Australia — showcasing Pontiac’s evolution from classic cruiser to global performance brand.
