The Nash and Kissell Klubs in conjunction with the Wisconsin Automotive Museum and the AACA are hosting the WI Auto Fest 2026 next year June 11th through the 14th at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum located in Hartford WI. Much thought, planning and consideration is being put into this meet that is focused solely on autos and trucks made in WI. This will be a unique opportunity to see a large display of very early autos made in WI including Rambler, Jeffery and Nash, most of which will be 90 years or older, as well as the entire span of Nash production through ’57.
Thursday, June 11th, there will be a driving tour in the beautiful kettle Moraine surrounding Hartford from 9 until about 3 pm followed by a ‘Cruise In’ at the museum as well as a social hour. Tour specifics will be forthcoming.
Friday morning there will be technical sessions with regards to restoration work. The afternoon will feature three speakers addressing the history of Nash Motor Co, Wisconsin truck production over the last 12 decades and an overview of WI auto production again followed by a social hour.
Saturday the car show will be presented at the museum, followed by an evening awards banquet in the museum surrounded by Nashes, Kissells and the rest of the autos and trucks on display.
A Sunday morning brunch will be hosted in the museum followed by a fun presentation titled,”Historia Obscuria.” There will be a second tour possibility for you Sunday afternoon sponsored by AACA.
Registration form will be posted shortly. Contact Jim Dworschack [email protected] or 608 304 6967 with any questions.
We hope that you are able and interested to come join the fun. Also, please spread the word about this meet to your Nash friends far and wide!
