Historic Mitchell Street Car Show 2026

The Historic Mitchell Street Car Show brought together another great mix of classic cars, lowriders, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles, and custom builds right in the heart of Milwaukee.

One of the things I enjoy most about this show is that you never know what's going to roll in. You'll see everything from longtime local builds that have been around for decades to fresh projects making their first appearance. More importantly, you get to meet the people behind the vehicles and hear the stories that make each one unique.

For this year's show, we had the opportunity to talk with several owners who were proud to share their rides with us. From a clean Cadillac Sedan DeVille and a beautifully preserved Pontiac Bonneville to custom trucks, lowrider bicycles, and motorcycles, there was something for every Motorhead.

Be sure to take some time and browse through the photo gallery below. If you attended the show, there's a good chance you'll spot your ride—or maybe even yourself!

Don't forget to watch Episode 4 of Milwaukee Motor Channel After Dark, where we take a closer look at several of the featured vehicles and hear directly from the owners who keep Milwaukee's custom vehicle culture alive.

Thanks to everyone who came out, showed off their rides, and made another Historic Mitchell Street Car Show a success.

We'll see you at the next one, Motorheadz! 🚗💨
