Hello Everyone!
What's goin' on?! Thanks to you all for such a wonderful CTC 2014. If you
haven't heard, we registered 7,293 vehicles from 39 states, Canada and one
overseas military post for “America's Largest Block Party!” Last year’s oldest
registered vehicle was a 1909 Ford Model T limo. It seems like we had
everything from Auburns to Zephyrs and a lot of everything in between,
including fun. It’s just amazing what you'll see at Cruisin’!
Speaking of fun, 2015 plans are well underway. Our good friend, Dennis
Gage, will be back this year, as will Courtney Hansen from PowerNation. A
new member is joining our automotive royal family this year… Cristy Lee as
seen on “All Girls Garage”! We’re busy working on bringing back the
Autocross, an event in Pascagoula and improving your overall experience
here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Pete Vicari promises a great array of
classic cars, muscle cars and trucks to choose from at the Auto Auction. We
have a new Swap Meet Director in Bob Millard, who brings more than 50
years of car show experience to Cruisin’ The Coast.
Of course, we always appreciate hearing from you, our registered
participants and dedicated cruisers. You can find us on Facebook, visit our
website at www.cruisinthecoast.com, or send us an email at
[email protected]. If you need to talk to one of us, call toll free at
888-808-1188.
Keep it between the lines and we’ll see you again this October.
Keep Cruisin’!

Car Corral: easy
and affordable
Got one too many cars in the old man
cave? Is there an empty space in your
“garage mahal” that needs filling? CTC’s Car
Corral can help with both problems. Open
Thursday, Oct. 8 – Saturday, Oct. 10, the
Car Corral provides interested sellers an
affordable option for displaying their cars
and buyers a single location to search for
treasures. The Car Corral is open daily, 9
a.m.–5 p.m., and provides a safe and secure
location for sellers and buyers alike. A Host
Car Club provides volunteers to assist sellers
with paperwork and parking, with security
provided at night, so you don't have to move
it unless you’re going to groove it on
Highway 90 in the evenings.
The cost is still only $40 for all three days.
The exact site location will be published in the
July Cruisin’ News and posted on our
website, www.cruisinthecoast.com, and on
our Facebook page once the schedule is
smoothed. Buyers and sellers, you negotiate
the price, we just provide the parking!
Find us on Facebook
Keep in touch with Cruisin’ The Coast all year long by finding us on Facebook. We post the latest
registration information, car counts, states represented and more. We also occasionally ask for your
opinion on vehicles, events and all things Cruisin’ The Coast. You can also post pics of your ride, ask
questions and help potential cruisers learn about “America’s Largest Block Party.” So take a look and
“like” us on Facebook. And while you’re there, visit our Smokin’ The Sound Facebook page and learn the latest on
our boating events.
(Please, no advertising or product/services sales or unsavory posts. Objectionable posts, as determined by Cruisin’ The Coast, will be deleted and the user banned.)
Cruisin’ Q&A
Yes, the first two questions are repeats but they are still asked so
often that we can't leave them out. Those of you who know the
answers may skip to question 3 and thanks for your patience.
How Do I Contact
Cruisin’ The Coast?
Before or after the event you may
contact CTC by email,
[email protected];
phone, 228-385-3847/1-888-8081188 or on Facebook. During the
event (Oct. 4-11, 2015) you
should phone us at 228-385-3847
or come to the Registration Desk.
Please do not email us during the
event as we will be onsite and not
have access to our email.
How Can I Get My
Packet If I’ve Registered
and I Can’t Come?
If the unexpected happens and you
have to cancel your Cruisin’ The
Coast trip, but you want your Early
Bird registration packet with your
free participant t-shirt and other
goodies, you may have a friend
pick up your packet with one of the
following pieces of information:
confirmation card for your
registration or a note telling us who
is picking up your packet along
with a copy of your driver’s license.
What if I change my
mind on what car I'm
bringing?
Call us at 1-888-808-1188 or 228385-3847 by Sept. 1 and we will
change your registered car before
we print the ID cards. We can
change the car onsite but you will
have to wait for the new ID to be
printed. Any car you register must
meet the eligibility year of 1989.
How do I buy tickets for
the CTC Raffle Car?
CTC Raffle Car tickets may be
purchased during the event at Cruise
Central in Gulfport. The 1967
Chevelle will be on display and
Make-A-Wish will be selling tickets.
If you wish to purchase tickets before
the event, please call the office,
1-888-808-1188 so we can explain
the procedure for ordering.
