2,500 street rods, customs, muscle cars and street machines will be on hand at the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds this weekend as the National Street Rod Association presents its 36th Annual Street Rod Nationals North Plus.

The host organization, NSRA, defines a street rod as a modernized vintage vehicle that must be of pre 1949 manufacture. These vehicles are equipped with the latest options available on the newest model vehicles, including but not limited to disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, and tilt steering wheel. Most of those attending have updated the engine and drive train to enable the owner to cruise down the highway in comfort and safely maintain the speeds traveled by more modern vehicles. All vehicles must be driven on to the grounds.

Included in this event are muscle cars, those factory produced high horsepower machines from the 60’s and 70’s along with the classics cars of the 50’s. This is truly unique mix of old and new together for the first time at Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds and a national gathering of fine vintage automobiles of every description. The NSRA Street Rod Nationals North Plus is the area’s largest automotive participation event and spectators from around the area will attend the event.
