Show History

Producing the Annual Father's Day Show Since 1957

The ORCCCA Father’s Day Car Show, a Northeast Ohio tradition since 1957, has long been celebrated for filling the historic grounds of Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens with hundreds of Full Classics, antiques, and special-interest automobiles. As the event continued to grow—both in size and in the diversity of vehicles and families it attracts—the Ohio Region Classic Car Club of America (ORCCCA) made the exciting decision to move the 69th annual show just up the road to Hale Farm & Village for 2026, allowing for expanded display space, more activities, and a larger festival-style experience while preserving the charm, heritage, and community spirit that have defined the show for nearly seven decades.

Club History

The Ohio Region Classic Car Club of America (ORCCCA), founded in 1954, is one of the oldest and most active regions within the national CCCA, dedicated to preserving and celebrating Full Classic® automobiles built between 1915 and 1948. From its earliest days, the club has brought together enthusiasts who value craftsmanship, engineering excellence, and the rich heritage of America’s and Europe’s finest motorcars. Over the decades, the ORCCCA has become known for its robust calendar of tours, technical seminars, social events, and its flagship Father’s Day Car Show, all aimed at fostering camaraderie and keeping the legacy of these historic vehicles alive. Anchored by passionate members across Northeast Ohio, the club continues to uphold its mission of education, preservation, and sharing the joy of Classic motoring with the community.

The Ohio Region Classic Car Club of America (ORCCCA) brings together enthusiasts who share a passion for Full Classic Automobiles — the coach-built, era-defining vehicles recognized by the national Classic Car Club of America. Members gather for monthly events throughout the year, swapping stories, sharing restoration know-how, and celebrating the artistry and engineering of a golden age of American motoring. The region also stays active on the national stage, regularly participating in CCCA events alongside fellow classic car devotees from across the country.

​

What truly sets ORCCCA apart is the Father's Day Car Show & Festival, our signature event and a longstanding Ohio tradition dating back to 1957, when it first took root at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens. Today the show has found a new home at Hale Farm & Village, where we've grown it into a full festival experience — pairing the cars with live music, historical demonstrations, and a genuine celebration of Ohio heritage. It's a place where history, craftsmanship, and community come together, and where ORCCCA members get to share their love of these remarkable automobiles with the public in a setting that feels as much like a homecoming as a car show.
