Every June in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Ford lovers unite to celebrate their Blue Oval passions by way of the Carlisle Ford Nationals (June 2-4). The National Parts Depot Showfield is populated with over 3,200 show cars spanning the history of the brand, the automotive flea market and midway are packed with vendors and retailers selling highly sought-after products, car clubs converge to socialize and recruit, and all-new for 2023, eBay Motors joins the fold as the presenting partner for the world-famous car show.

Car shows have been and will always be an in-person, sensory experience, but the internet and online marketplaces like eBay Motors rightfully play their part in connecting car lovers with content and items too. That’s why this partnership, much like those previously forged at Carlisle, provides real value to everyone involved.

As presenting sponsor, eBay Motors positions itself to make its growing brand visible to the masses at Carlisle, including the expansive Showfield and nearly 60,000 guests.  In addition, eBay joins great partners like Amsoil and American Collector Car Insurance as sponsors with a focused promotional effort in Carlisle at the car shows.

eBay Motors and Carlisle Events have roots dating back as early as 2000.  eBay Motors launched and soon thereafter, introduced their online marketplace to Carlisle Events as an official sponsor in 2002.  For many years after, they worked directly with Carlisle Events and showgoers on the ins and outs of buying and selling online.  Since the initial partnership, online buying and selling various products have become commonplace, including by every Midway vendor at the Carlisle car shows and even Carlisle Events by way of an overstock merchandise eBay store.

Carlisle Events welcomes them back to share their online selling experience and be part of the overall market of buying and selling “car stuff.”  Guests will find them and their marketplace experts on the Midway at the Carlisle Ford Nationals.  In addition, they’ll have free t-shirts and swag for anyone who signs up to win.  Prizes include daily drawings for a $100 eBay Gift Card, even more free goodies AND a chance to WIN a UTV.  Stop by, sign up, and learn more about continued sales once in-person events conclude, all while eBay’s 24/7 online market remains open, benefiting everyone, not only at Carlisle but around the world!

“I was here when eBay Motors introduced their online marketplace to enthusiasts at Carlisle,” said Ed Scholly, Associate Director of Business and Event Development.  “We are happy that they continue to support buyers, sellers, and enthusiasts of Carlisle with their sponsorship, support, and participation offline with attendees of the Carlisle car shows,” continued Scholly.  “If you can’t find it here at Carlisle, we are happy to have a partner like eBay Motors to help you find it elsewhere!”
