🚨 OFFICIAL BRAND PARTNER — Cruise the Rogue 2026

Barrett-Jackson is coming to Grants Pass.

One of the most recognized names in the collector car world will have a team on the ground at Cruise the Rogue 2026 — not to host an auction, but to connect directly with our community. Their consignment team will be available throughout the weekend to answer questions, walk you through the process, and talk cars with anyone who’s ever been curious about how it all works.

And just so you know — their next stop after Grants Pass is Las Vegas. 👀

This is what happens when a community comes together and builds something worth showing up for.

🇯🇵 REGISTER SPOTLIGHT: Michael Snow's 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R — R32

For most people, the R32 GT-R lived in video games and dreams. Michael Snow went and got one.

After 24 years of service in the U.S. Navy — including a station in Yokosuka, Japan — Michael purchased two Skylines while living there. This GT-R has been his for 15 years. When the 25-year import laws finally allowed it, he brought it home to the United States exactly as it left Japan — built by some of the most respected shops in the country, including Mine's and the Nismo Omori Factory.

The build spec is serious:
Pure Turbos 6266 twin scroll. CRG custom twin scroll manifold. Haltech Nexus plug-in ECU with a drive-by-wire upgrade in progress. Zerofab billet front-facing intake. NISMO LMGT4 Omori Factory wheels. Ferrari F40 Brembo front brakes with custom logo. Porsche 911 GT2 Brembo rear brakes with custom logo. The first set of Tanabe/Revel Touring Sport coilovers ever installed on an R32 GT-R in the United States.

The accolades match the build — over 27 awards, including Best in Show at the Medford Cruise four consecutive years. Featured in Japanese automotive magazines and on Speedhunters.

Michael's bringing it to Cruise the Rogue this July to show his dream car to everyone in Downtown Grants Pass. It took 24 years of service, 15 years of ownership, and one very specific import law to make it happen.

Worth every minute.

✨ REGISTER SPOTLIGHT: Cameron Kelley's 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Newport Deluxe

Seventy years old. Still wearing its original color. Still winning.

Cameron Kelley's 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Newport Deluxe coupe is one of the most elegant cars registered for Cruise the Rogue — mint green over a black roof, Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, original headliner, and the kind of chrome that takes an afternoon to do justice to with a polish rag.

Power windows. Power brakes. Power steering. In 1954, this was as luxurious as American automotive engineering got.

And it's proven itself on the show circuit:
🏆 1st Place — 8th Annual Aaron Lambert Show & Shine
🥈 2nd Place — 10th Annual Outlaw Charity Car Show
🥈 2nd Place — 2022 Boatnik Parade
🥉 3rd Place — 2016 Southern Oregon Misfits Car Show
🏅 Class Award — 2019 Medford Rod & Custom Show

Cameron's bringing this one out right here in Grants Pass for Cruise the Rogue this July. When you see it in person, you'll understand every trophy.

🇩🇪 REGISTER SPOTLIGHT: Dom Martinez's 1968 Porsche 912

It left the factory in Burgundy Red. It never got repainted. And it still turns every head it passes.

Dom Martinez's 1968 Porsche 912 shares the same iconic body as the 911 but was Porsche's answer to an accessible sports car — lightweight four-cylinder, excellent balance, and a driving experience that's aged better than almost anything else from its era.

This one spent its early life in California's Big Sur region before eventually drifting north to Southern Oregon, where it sat dormant in a barn near Murphy for years. Dom discovered it in 2024. Couldn't buy it then. Never forgot about it. In January 2026 the opportunity finally came — and he brought it home.

It wasn't running when he got it. Some straightforward mechanical work later, it was back on the road where it belongs.

And that's exactly where it stays. Dom doesn't hide this one in a garage. He drives it almost daily — with his wife and kids — for scenic drives, ice cream runs, and errands around Grants Pass. Doing exactly what it was built to do nearly six decades ago.

If you spend time around Grants Pass, you've probably already seen it. Now come see it at Cruise the Rogue this July.

✌️ REGISTER SPOTLIGHT: David Kroesen's 1958 Volkswagen Microbus Deluxe

This bus has lived more lives than most cars ever will.

Born in 1958. Spent its early decades in Michigan. Discovered in 2001 by a Belgian Volkswagen collector who recognized what it was — and shipped it across the Atlantic for a full restoration completed in 2010. For the next thirteen years it graced European shows, turning heads on a continent that knows a thing or two about automotive culture.

Then in 2023 it came home to America — and landed in Grants Pass, Oregon, where David Kroesen drives it every week.

Not stored. Not trailered. Driven. Every week.

Red and white. White walls. Period-correct proportions that haven't needed improving in nearly 70 years. This is one of the most well-traveled vehicles registered for Cruise the Rogue — Michigan to Belgium to Southern Oregon, with a full European show career in between.

David's bringing it to Cruise the Rogue this July. Some vehicles carry history. This one carries a passport.
