Car d’Lane

One of Coeur d’Alene’s favorite summer traditions is here as the Car d’Lane summer car show makes its 26th appearance in downtown. Cars, trucks, vans and a few specialty vehicles will all be on display Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18. Classics created before 1975 are all eligible to take part in the show. Here, you’ll find everything from fully restored originals to wild customizations. The Friday night cruise will again kick off the event with the Red Hot Mamas getting things started. Get your spot along Sherman or Lakeside early to see these pieces of history cruise by and experience the sounds and smells of American muscle.

The Friday night cruise gets going at 6pm and usually wraps up around 9pm. On Saturday, Sherman Avenue and Lakeside between 3rd and 7th will be closed to foot traffic only as it will be lined with classics. Owners will be on hand to tell you everything you’d want to know about their prized possessions, and this is a great opportunity to see some of the most rare and unique vehicles in the Inland Northwest and Canada.

Those looking to enter their vehicle can do so by visiting the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association website at www.cdadowntown.com. There you can also find maps for both the Friday night cruise and the Saturday Show ‘n Shine. Tickets for the annual downtown poker walk can also be purchased here for just $5.

Awards are given out at the end of the day Saturday with local car club participants serving as the judges. You’ll find plenty of food and drink options as well as Car d’Lane T-shirts for sale and a swap meet featuring parts and partially restored vehicles for sale. This is a family-friendly event and carpooling is encouraged.
