Best known for our award-winning, e-commerce platforms, AmericanMuscle.com, ExtremeTerrain.com, and AmericanTrucks.com, we’ve been engaging muscle car, truck, and off-road enthusiasts with exceptional products, services, and experiences since 2004. With the acquisition of Eckler’s in 2022, a pioneer in classic car restoration & modification for over 60 years, Turn5’s catalog of brands has expanded to now offer aftermarket automotive products for vehicles as classic as the Model T.\nOur purpose, however, extends beyond selling car parts. We have a commitment to creating meaningful customer experiences at every step of their journey.

You’ll brainstorm event ideas, help select décor, food, prizes and employee gifts, create signage and guest experiences and then help bring it all to life.\nYou won’t simply be handed a checklist of tasks.

You’ll contribute ideas for the venue experience, décor, menu, gifts and signage while assisting with guest details, vendor communication, setup and event-night logistics.\nthrotl Throwdown: Help bring a large-scale automotive event for nearly 8,000 attendees to life. You will help coordinate day-of logistics across all event elements, including vendors, entertainment, signage, food and activations, for one of the largest automotive events of the year.\nThis internship is designed for someone who wants to be creative, contribute meaningful ideas and learn what it takes to turn those ideas into memorable experiences for employees, business partners and thousands of automotive enthusiasts.\nInternship Dates\nStart Date: January 11, 2027\nEnd Date: May 28, 2027\nWork Location and Schedule\nThis internship will be primarily remote, with occasional in-office days at Turn5’s headquarters in Paoli, Pennsylvania for creative planning sessions, team meetings, event preparation and hands-on projects.
