Carlisle Ford Nationals 2025

Any information on an “official” hotel for the Carlisle Ford Nationals this year? In the past it appears to have been the Courtyard Marriott on Gettysburg Road in Mechanicsburg. Thanks!

Hello there Dave -

Yes, host hotel for the Carlisle Ford Nationals is the same it has been in the past - registration link below.

Today (April 21st) is the last day to get the “Gate 'N Go” show discount.

Also, we are very close to 50 pre-registers and if we hit 50 today Carlisle will up our tent size.

I’ll post more show info on this thread soon - so stay tuned. Link to register below.

Also - when you register under “Club Affiliation” please select “Cougar Club of America”, even if you are not a current member.

It is under that heading that Carlisle Productions adds up our preregistration count.

Wow - it was a great Carlisle this year. As usual, we experienced all four seasons of weather! We laughed, we cried, we got soaked then we dried…

Always a bonding experience - but the weather was perfect for our traditional Saturday evening cookout and parking lot party.

It was great meeting you DWDykstra and getting to see your absolutely gorgeous '69 CJ 'vert!

We have posted some pics over on our Delmarva website. Drop by and have a look.

Shocking, I know, but I got rained on on the way home too!

Great variety of Cats. Love the “personalized” ones… yet the originals with 3 speed manual transmissions ya just gotta love them too!
Thanks to each & everyone who braved the weather with their Cats, we all know they hate water !!

Great info. Already bought tickets. Hotel booked. Be in the Cougar 69 70 XR7 category. See you there.

June 5 to 7 2026. Usually 1st weekend in June.

Yes. Not sure who I’m dragging to this event. But, Geronimo

It was another great Ford Nats. I brought my 67’ plain jane 3 speed with no expectations whatsoever and came home with two awards. Amazing. Met some really nice people in the Cougar community and thank you for making my first Nat show as a participant awesome. See you next year as a spectator…son is bringing his Foxbody and only one car fits in the trailer.

Boy that looks like alot of pretty cars there last year. Hope mine shows as well as all those I saw in the photos. The grill and the tail panel on these cars is unmatched across the era! Beautiful
