Cars and movies. An iconic pairing. 

Cars transformed the way we moved through our world. Movies put an endless universe of experience within our reach. They brought us freedom, excitement, joy and connection. Cars provided thrilling action to the movies. Movies enhanced the seductive power of cars. Together, they helped define the 20th century experience. 

Join us this summer in the Motor City as we celebrate them both at the Senate Theater with a car show and car flick film festival! Expect cool cars in the Senate’s parking lot, a full bar, four classic features revolving around car culture, a silent short film with live organ accompaniment and more. 

Come admire some cool rides parked outside the theater, Steve McQueen on the racetrack, cruising 1950s teens, vintage car comedy, cross-country racers, and Kurt Russel's goofy hijinks at the used car lot. See you there!
