The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles marks its 100th anniversary in 2024 and will celebrate with the Colonial Rod Club and Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia at “Through the Decades: DMV Classic Car Show.”
The car show tomorrow will showcase the evolution of automotive history, from vintage classics to modern marvels. The DMV invites the public to bring family and friends for a day filled with dazzling cars, fun activities and great food to celebrate a century of service, partnerships and community.
“We are so excited to partner with the Colonial Rod Club to welcome our community to celebrate the reason DMV started all those years ago, our cars,” DMV Commissioner Gerald Lackey said. “Seeing the passage of time through the cars is truly wonderful. And we are honored and humbled knowing that proceeds from this event are going to the amazing work that Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia is doing around our great Commonwealth.”
Since 1987, Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia has granted more than 5,800 wishes for children with critical illnesses in Virginia communities. With generous donors, supporters, staff and volunteers, Make-A-Wish delivers hope and joy to children and their families when they need it most.
“We often hear from parents that the wish experience gives their child the strength needed to continue their medical journey,” said Sheri Lambert, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia. “We’re so thankful to partner together to help these grant life-changing wishes at such an amazing celebration of automotive and DMV history.”
The DMV Classic Car Show in Partnership with Colonial Rod Club will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2300 W. Broad Street, Richmond. Rain or shine, admission and parking are free for spectators. Proceeds from car registration and donations go to support Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia.
