Explore Rock Hill's Automotive Legacy
Historic Rock Hill's annual Antique Car Show continues to be an exciting event during the Come See Me Festival, Rock Hill's signature Spring festival, promising a day filled with automotive nostalgia and historical charm.
The Antique Car Show is held every Spring on the manicured grounds of the White Home, a restored landmark in the heart of Rock Hill. On the grounds are a stunning display of restored cars dating from the early 1900s to the mid-1930s, with a special emphasis on the legendary Anderson automobile.
We had over 350 attend the Antique Car Show in April 2024, including various amazing craft vendors from the community selling their items. Roman’s All Star Cafe was even onsite selling delicious All-American food!
The Anderson: A Southern Automotive Powerhouse
Car aficionados that attended this year’s event got to witness a piece of Rock Hill's rich history. Manufactured locally in the early 20th century, the Anderson was once considered the most successful automobile ever built in the Southern United States. These meticulously crafted vehicles played a significant role in the city's development, and the Antique Car Show offers an opportunity to witness a handful of these surviving vehicles up close.
More Than Just Cars: A Multifaceted Historical Experience
Beyond the chrome and vintage engines, this years event provided an immersive historical experience:
Engage with car owners to learn from the passionate owners who have meticulously restored these antique automobiles.
Explore inside and outside the White Home by taking a leisurely self-guided stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens.
