MOST LOVED CONTEST: ALL MODEL YEARS ARE NOW POSTED
Shirts, hoodies, display plaques, AND A COVETED SPOT IN THE SPECIAL DISPLAY TENT!
Only 81 days until the Carlisle GM Nationals, and ALL Model Years in the MOST LOVED Contest for the 3rd Gen Camaro and Firebirds are now posted!
To make sure everyone knows how many days we have left, we started the countdown 11 days ago which was 92 days from the start of the event.
For those who are new to the contest, here's how it works:
For the past 11 days we featured a different Model Year from 1992 - 1982. Obviously we started with the 1992 Model Year, counting down each Model Year until we reached the 1982 Model Year yesterday.
IF you haven’t done so already, you can still post a photo of your car on the CORRECT DAY’S POST FOR YOUR CAR’S MODEL YEAR and the car of EACH MODEL YEAR that receives the most LOVES by May 4 gets a CUSTOM 2026 3rd Gen Nationals MOST LOVED T-Shirt! Winners can pick black or charcoal, and ONLY 11 of these shirts will be made especially for this contest. In addition to winning a shirt, the ONE Camaro and the ONE Firebird that gets the MOST LOVES OVERALL out of ALL Model Years wins a CUSTOM hoodie. ONLY 2 hoodies will be made for this contest! The Camaro gets a red hoodie and the Firebird gets a blue hoodie, technically making each hoodie a 1 of 1!
We posted the current countdown Model Years daily for the past 11 days, so just make sure to post your photo on the CORRECT MODEL YEAR for your car, because cars posted on the wrong Model Year DO NOT count.
Just scroll down though the previous posts, and find the correct posting for your Model Year. You can CONTINUE TO POST PHOTOS and LOVE all cars on each of the individual Model Year posts until MAY 4 which is the LAST DAY for the Gate-n-Go PRE-REGISTRATION, and that's when we're going to count the LOVES. When voting for a car, make sure you click the LOVE reaction because LIKES DO NOT COUNT, and LOVES received AFTER May 4 will NOT be counted.
We understand that some car owners can only attend as a spectator, but because we want to see the cars in person, the car of each Model Year that receives the MOST LOVES and is also PRE-REGISTERED FOR THE SHOW FIELD by MAY 4 will receive a CUSTOM MOST LOVED SHOW DISPLAY PLAQUE AND A SPOT IN THE SPECIAL 3rd GEN DISPLAY TENT!
The car MUST be pre-registered by May 4 because these awards are custom made for this event. Use this link below to register for the show.

Each shirt / hoodie winner MUST pick up in person at the event, but the car is not required to be there. If the car is not shown in the display, you WILL NOT receive the display plaque.
If the most LOVED car for each year does not register by MAY 4, it will NOT receive the display plaque (even if the car attends) but that's only because the awards are made weeks in advance of the event and they will not be able to be made after May 4.
Congratulations to last year's MOST LOVED OVERALL winners for the 2025 Contest!
TOP CAMARO OVERALL: Michael Payne’s 1986 IROC-Z Convertible
