New Hope Helping welcomes you to the 2025 New Hope Automobile Show.
For 68 years, some of the finest antique and classic automobiles in the country have made their way to New Hope, Pennsylvania to be judged for authenticity, originality, cleanliness, and condition. Over the years, The New Hope Automobile Show has drawn up to 10,000 people over the two-day show, all looking to see and appreciate the design and technology of automobile manufacturers from all over the world.
Location.
The show is held on the campus of the New Hope-Solebury High School at 180 West Bridge Street, New Hope, PA. Directions.
Admission.
General admission tickets are $10.00 per person, children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult. Active military and their families are free with ID.
