After a 22-month hiatus that began with the Covid-19 pandemic, the Pacific Northwest Model Car Fest returned in October 2022. In conjunction with its return, the Scale Auto Builders Association (SABA) combined the Bob Paeth Portland Classic Model Car Contest and the Pacific Northwest Model Car Fest into a single, judged event with a swap meet. Twenty-twenty-two’s theme: muscle cars. The show saw over 300 contest entries and a full vendor roster.
