Win a True Kansas Barn-Find: 1946 Dodge Sedan

One of the night’s biggest attractions is the raffle for a remarkable 1946 Dodge four-door sedan, a genuine Kansas survivor rescued from a shed in Parsons, Kansas after nearly forty years of slumber.

Still wearing her honest patina and a single repaint, the Dodge tells the story of thousands of miles traveled across Kansas roads. With just one week of mechanical revival by the team at Long-McArthur Ford, her original six-cylinder engine was brought back to life. The fuel tank was replaced, the carburetor rebuilt, and the brakes refreshed—making her both drivable and historically authentic.

Raffle Ticket Pricing:

   •   5 tickets for $100
   •   Only 1,000 tickets will be sold
   •   Winners do not need to be present to win
   •   Drawing Date: February 14, 2026
