2023 Run to the Pines Car Show
The Run to the Pines Car Show is a 39-Year Tradition held in Arizona’s beautiful White Mountain region. This collection of 575 pre-1973 cars is the largest of its kind and a not-to-be-missed event. Hosted by Ted and Randi Corbin, Jim and Darla Faulk, and the Run to the Pines volunteers, the 39th Annual 2023 Run to the Pines Car Show will be held Friday, September 22nd – Sunday, September 24th, 2023, in cool Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona.
