Nearly 3,000 vehicles and an estimated 60,000 enthusiasts packed the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds July 10–12 for the 2026 Carlisle Chrysler Nationals, celebrating more than a century of Chrysler history while showcasing the latest from the Dodge and Chrysler brands.
This year’s event featured everything from legendary muscle cars and rare classics to trucks, vans and modern performance vehicles. More than 3,000 automotive flea market spaces and over 100 vehicles in the Car Corral made the event a prime destination for enthusiasts looking to buy, sell and shop.
A centerpiece of the weekend was the **100th anniversary of the Imperial**, alongside special displays celebrating **60 years of the Dodge Charger**, **60 years of the Street Hemi**, **55 years of the 1971 Plymouth Duster 340**, **50 years of Dodge’s Adult Toys program**, F-Body models and the ever-popular Mopar Survivors display.
Attendees also got a look at Dodge and Chrysler’s newest offerings, including the **Purple Haze Dodge Charger** and the latest **Chrysler Pacifica**, with product walk-arounds led by brand representatives. Dodge Charger Product Manager Ashton Munoz even fired up the crowd with a burnout demonstration before the rolling burnout and donut contest.
Special guests included Joe Zolper of *Garage Squad*, Claudia Abel, members of the legendary Ramchargers team, Herb McCandless, Paul Rossi and Buddy Martin. On-track action throughout the weekend featured the Real Street Shootout, rolling exhaust competition, burnout contest and more.
