Ready to plan
your weekend at the
Iola car show?
Take a look at some helpful hints to make sure you see EVERYTHING Iola has to offer!
Parking & Buses
We offer free spectator parking! Follow the street signs to get to the Iola Car Show Spectator lots. These will locate you near Gate #1, our main spectator entrance. Please note a number of paid private lots surround the show grounds.
The bus shuttle runs from the campgrounds to Gate #16 in the car corral area. It also operates in spectator parking, continually dropping off at Gate #1 and near Gate #8.
*Due to traffic congestion, there is no shuttle for the perimeter of the
show grounds. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Where do I go to see...
Special Guests
Head to Gates 3 and 4. Special guests will be located on the main drag. We will post schedules as the show gets closer!
Blue ribbon
Head to Gates 4, 5 and 3. Blue Ribbon cars are along Hwy. 161 and it's a great place to start the show off at!
Show Cars
Head to Gates 3 and 2. Your post-war cars, the Old Cars Young Drivers, and the new Late Model vehicle category are located along Hwy J!
Swap Meet
Head to 1, 15, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 10. As you can see, you can't really go wrong when viewing the swap meet no matter what gate you enter! Located on the East side of the grounds, Gate 1 is the most popular swap meet entrance due to the proximity to spectator parking.
Car Corral
Head to Gate 16. A show of it's own, check out all the cars for sale in this lot. This area is fun to walk thru for the shear variation in cars for sale.
