Featured Past Grand Marshals

Barry & Karen Meguiar

The Benedict Castle Concours Car Show is excited to honor our 2025 Co-Grand Marshals—Barry and Karen Meguiar!

These two personify PASSION! They are passionate about the collector car hobby, passionate about sharing their faith in God, and passionate about seeing lives changed through Teen Challenge, which they have supported for nearly sixty years.

Meguiar’s Car Wax was founded by Barry’s Grandfather, Frank Meguiar Jr. in 1901. But it was Barry and Karen Meguiar who launched Meguiar’s into the retail market in 1973, going to car shows and trade shows. Great products and the feeling of being part of Barry and Karen’s family when you use their products, have made Meguiar’s the top selling Car Wax in America and in countries around the world.

While Barry and Karen are the consummate ‘Car Guys’, there’s nothing that excites them more than seeing lives lost in addictions, being transformed into over achievers by the Power of God’s Love, flowing through the ministry of Teen Challenge.
