Yup, you read that right. We’re officially on the hunt for local Quad City women who are confident, authentic, and ready to show off their natural beauty in front of the camera. And guess what? You don’t need any modeling experience. Just bring your smile, your personality, and your love for classic cars (or the vibes of being around them, that works too)!

Be a Model in the 2026 D&M Classic Car Calendar

If you’ve ever looked at a calendar and thought, “I could totally do that”—this is your moment. Imagine you, glammed up and glowing, posing next to a jaw-dropping vintage car, all while repping the QC in style. Yes, QUEEN!

This calendar is more than a cool photo shoot—it’s a celebration of local women like YOU. We’re pairing natural beauty with beautiful classic cars and turning heads all year long.

So, What’s the Dwyer & Michaels Classic Car Calendar?

Every year, The Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show—a beloved radio show based in the Quad Cities—creates the highly anticipated Dwyer & Michaels Classic Car Calendar, a FREE collector’s item for car enthusiasts and fans alike. It’s kinda a big deal—and you could be a part of it. Think timeless glam meets hometown pride, with a side of vintage horsepower.

Acceptable Model Photos

How to Submit the Best Photos

Here’s how to put your best foot (and face) forward:

No filters or AI enhancements – we’re here for real beauty.
Avoid hiding your face or figure – skip the sunglasses, hats, or heavy makeup. We want to see YOU.
Skip the mirror selfies – we’re looking for clear, well-lit pics that show your full self.
Be 18+ by June 1st, 2025 – that’s the only requirement!

Oh—and when you're linking a social media account, make sure it shows you’re a real person, not a bot or a catfish. We check!

What’s It Like on Set?

Honestly? It’s a blast. Think relaxed vibes, fun music, gorgeous cars, and tons of encouragement. Our team is here to make you feel confident, empowered, and camera-ready. We’ll help with styling, makeup, and posing—so even if it’s your first time modeling, you’ll feel like a total pro.
