14th Annual Vintage Auto Show
Miami’s Most Exciting Vintage Car Show
The Deering Estate, in collaboration with the Antique Automotive Club of America – South Florida Region, will host the 14th annual Vintage Auto Show on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests from the Miami area can enjoy a relaxing day outdoors as they stroll down memory lane. Car show enthusiasts of all ages can enjoy a variety of vintage cars, from 1965 and older, displayed on the historic grounds of the Deering Estate for Miami’s most exciting car show.
As a salute to Charles Deering, first chairman of the International Harvester Company, our 1950 International Harvester Truck will also be on display. The Harvester Truck, which was donated to the Deering Estate Foundation, was purchased brand new in Chicago by Marion Deering McCormick, Charles Deering’s daughter. After Mrs. McCormick passed away in 1965, the truck passed to her son and was maintained by the McCormick family until they donated it to the Deering Estate Foundation. Please note that the historic house museums will be closed and not accessible at the car show.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do I need to create a Park Link account to purchase tickets?
In recent years, Deering has worked with outside ticketing platforms for events such as the Vintage Auto Show. These platforms have fees on top of the ticket price. In 2020, Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces moved to a new ticket platform, Park Link, which supports event ticketing without those additional fees. Like most ticketing platforms, you will need to create an account the first time. After creating your account, you will be able to purchase tickets and register for programs at Deering Estate and other Miami-Dade County Parks.
