They will raise money for The Georgina Ward at Dudley's Russells Hall Hospital where she was treated.
Organiser Terry Dyke, 66, of Codsall, near Wolverhampton, said: "We are hoping that the event will raise about £1,000.
"It will be £6 to enter and at the moment we are expecting between 25 and 30 cars. People don't have to be a member of the club to take part but just enjoy motors."
The Black Country Classic Car Club has 60 members and formed about four years ago. Its members go across the country to display their cars at a number of shows.
