About Madison Classics

For over 33 years Madison Classics has been hosting the Midwest's largest Car Shows and Swap meets. Madison Classics held its first Swap Meet at the Dane County Coliseum on a bitter cold, snowy day in February of 1978. In 1979 the car show was moved to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds where it is today. After Spring Jefferson began to pick up in popularity, Fall Jefferson was added to the roster. In August of 1986, Madison Classics began their Elkhorn car show at the Walworth County Fairgrounds in Elkhorn, WI.
