About The Show
Luft Klassiker is the latest event brought to you by the organizers of the New England Dustoff which is in its 21st year as a VW/Audi only show. A show averaging 500+ show cars and over 4,000 spectators annually, we are bringing our experience of hosting large format events to the Aircooled-specific community.
Luft Klassiker has taken inspiration from shows on the West Coast, the UK and across Europe to bring a unique format to the Northeast. This
is a showcase of all Aircooled models from Volkswagen and Porsche.
This Aircooled exclusive weekend kicks off on Saturday with an open-haus at The LuftHaus. There will be food / beverage vendors and a low-key gathering to welcome everyone to the weekend. Our neighbors have also offered to open their facility for dyno sessions. Saturday evening will include a car cruise leaving from the host hotels to a dinner location. This is all leading up to the premier event on Sunday.
With over 100K square feet of indoor space the Luft Klassiker will feature all styles from nut and bolt restorations to original survivors to highly modified street cars to complete race prepped vehicles to daily drivers and everything in between.
The Partners Expo will have some of the top names in the aircooled parts aftermarket, tuning shops for all build types, restoration specialists, classic car insurance providers, local automotive-themed artisans and one of the largest Vintage BMX displays in the area.
Luft Junior is our way of encouraging and supporting the next generation of enthusiasts. This is a dedicated section of the venue that will allow for kids (of all ages) to participate in their own show. We are looking for pedal cars, radio flyers, power wheels, Little Tike Cozy Coupes, etc. There are no limits or requirements for someone to participate in this section. We will also be holding pine-derby style races using home-made modified aircooled valve covers. The event will be donating the “canvas” (1 valve cover per child) to build prior to the show and we will have a track set up for head to head racing.

LUFT JUNIOR
Does your child have a pedal car, power wheels, radio flyer, cozy coupe, etc? There is a dedicated section for our future enthusiasts to show off their pride and joy.
