Honoring Transportation Heritage Across Generations

Inspired by the passion of enthusiasts, the pages of Vintage Fire Truck and Vintage Motor Coach, and the dedication of GLIAFAA, Rigs & Relics celebrates vehicles not simply as machines, but as living pieces of American history.
Rigs & Relics brings together those who value the craftsmanship and stories behind America’s transportation legacy, from antique fire apparatus and classic motor coaches to vintage automobiles, historic aircraft, and rail equipment. These machines represent service, innovation, and the backbone of American communities.
At the Branch County Fairgrounds in Coldwater, Michigan, June 26 – 28, 2026, preservationists gather to share knowledge, mentor the next generation, and ensure that transportation history remains alive and well for years to come.
