Automobiles from across Oklahoma and surrounding states will be on display when Enid Antique Car Club hosts its annual car showcase March twenty eight to benefit Cimarron Council Boy Scouts of America.

The display will be at Chisholm Trail Expo Center. There is no admission charge.

Among the vehicles on display will be the world’s only surviving one thousand nine hundred eighteen Geronimo automobile. Geronimo cars were built in Enid 1917-1920. After the Geronimo plant burned in 1920, many were scrapped for metal to help with the war effort. The one on display has been painstakingly restored.

“We are excited about sharing our cars with the public,” said Bud Smith, president of Enid Antique Car Club. “Our members and friends are sultry about keeping the history of the automobile alive for others to love.”

In addition to the Geronimo, there will be more than one hundred other cars on display indicating each era of the automobile industry. Thirty-one trophies will be awarded in several categories, including stock cars and trucks, customized cars and trucks, rat rods, hot rods and low riders. Each of categories will be cracked into time periods: pre-war, 1941-54, 1955-63, 1964-72 and 1973-newer.

Entry fee for vehicles is $20. If the fee is received by Friday, March 20, the cost is $17 per individual and $15 per car for groups of five or more.

“We certainly appreciate the Enid Antique Car Club for their efforts to support Scouting,” said Scout Executive Bobby Schultz. “Their efforts will help us proceed to instruct leadership and teamwork to thousands of youth across Enid and northwest Oklahoma.”

This year marks a switch in the event. A Cub Scout Pushmobile race, similar to a soapbox derby, and a craft showcase also are part of the event.

“We are suggesting some fresh things this year,” said Kerri Watts, Boy Scouts district executive. “We are running a Cub Scout Pushmobile event, and also are hosting a large craft showcase. There is something for everyone in the family.”

Vendor requests for craft demonstrate table space was tremendous. In order to accommodate everyone requesting a booth space, the Boy Scouts have added a 2nd room.

Pushmobile registration starts at nine a.m., with races commencing at 9:30 a.m. The car showcase is open to the public ten a.m. to three p.m. The craft demonstrate starts at nine a.m.

Boy Scout Troops will be operating a concession stand. In addition to doughnuts and coffee, the Scouts will suggest an assortment of lunch items. All proceeds benefit the Cimarron Council, Boy Scouts of America.

“This is a good chance to have a joy family day, while supporting Scouting,” said Schultz. “There truly is something for everyone.”

The Cimarron Council serves more than Two,500 youth members in nineteen counties.
