Classic Car Raffle

Approximately every two years, the Thunder Bay Museum raffles off a classic car with proceeds going directly towards helping with the operation of the museum. The Thunder Bay Museum has always purchased its raffle cars, and has not acquired any via donation. However, should someone wish to explore the possibility of donating a car for a future raffle, please contact the Museum’s Director.

Due to the COVID-19 virus the Thunder Bay Museum is announcing that our 2020 Classic Car Raffle ticket draw for a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro has been postponed until 1 May 2021 at 4 PM. The postponement to the raffle was done in coordination with the City of Thunder Bay Lottery Licensing office. The drawing will still take place at Fat Guys Auto Parts at 333 Memorial Ave.

All tickets sold to date are still valid for the drawing.

We appreciate our supporters’ and contributors’ patience during this challenging time.
