As we celebrate 100 years of Chrysler, arguably the most iconic of the factory Mopar drag cars are the 1968 Hemi A-Bodies. And of those cars, the most significant is The Mule. This is THE car that was the blueprint for the others and you can see it in Building T, July 11-13, 2025.

This is the test mule that was built by the Chrysler engineers under the direction of Tom Hoover and Dick Maxwell to fit the 426 Hemi in an A-Body for one purpose - to win! This is your chance to see this piece of Mopar history in person.

The lovely lady next to The Mule is none other than Claudia, Miss Direct Connection. Claudia will be here along with an extensive list of other Chrysler celebrities like Steve Dulcich, Linda Vaughn, Butch Leal, Herb McCandless, Buddy Martin, The Ramchargers, The Golden Commandos, The Missile Group, Nick Panaritis and more!

See The Mule, tons of celebrity guests, over 3,000 other Mopars on display, plus over 3,000 SOLD OUT vending spaces in the swap meet. All of this takes place July 11-13 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. The show includes all domestic brands under the Chrysler umbrella including Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, Imperial, AMC, DeSoto, Jeep, Ram, Fargo, SRT and more!
