NO Experience Needed!
Hey ladies!
It’s your girl Megan from the Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show—and I’ve got something super exciting to share with you. This is your sign to stop doubting yourself and start living your main character moment, because I’m inviting YOU to apply for the 2026 Dwyer & Michaels Classic Car Calendar!
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.
What We’re Looking For
We’re keeping it real—no filters, no AI magic, no crazy editing. We want you. The confident, beautiful, true-to-yourself version of you. Whether you’ve never modeled before or have a little experience, this is your time to shine.
How It Works
1. Apply Now: Applications are open through June 1st, 2025.
2. Selections Made in June: 13 lucky ladies will be picked and contacted by email.
3. Get Ready to Slay: Photoshoots will happen in July 2025 (dates TBD).
Even if you don’t get picked this year, don’t stress—we love seeing returning applicants, so try again next time!
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.
