Daytona Turkey Rod Run 2024 in Florida

The Largest Car Show and Swap Meet in the United States

Dates: November 28–December 1, 2024

The Daytona Turkey Rod Run is a massive car event held in the field of Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, twice a year—in spring, during the 4th weekend of March, and in fall, during Thanksgiving weekend in November. Over 5,000 collector cars will be on display in the eastern section of the infield. The public can see classic American muscle cars, cars from the 1920's, 30's, 40's and 50's. The show is open to all "show quality" vehicles 30 years and older, with no classes or awards applied. The Daytona Turkey Rod Run is a real holiday for the fans of collectors and unique cars!

Car Corral

If you are shopping for a unique or antique car, the Daytona International Speedway offers a lot of options, from a classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air to a rare 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. Over 1,500 cars are offered for sale or trade at the Car Corral, a huge marketplace for classic cars, hot rods, race cars, muscle cars, custom cars, and collectible car parts as well as memorabilia. Daytona Turkey Rod Run Car Corral attracts sellers and buyers from all over the world. If you are an owner of a car manufactured prior to 1980 or if you have Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, Prowlers, Vipers, SSR's, Fiero's and exotic cars, you can take part in a car corral and swap meet. Located in the infield of the Daytona International Speedway, the marketplace features cars from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
