I remember those early shows.  Wasn't really involved that much back then, but did go to the shows to see what everybody was driving.  Like you said, Chris,  Wasn't that long ago that 20 or so cars were the show, now we get more than that at a cruise-in.  And, the show itself is from what i read / see/ hear one of the most desirable in the Southeast over the course of the year.  

Of course, I'm kinda partial...  :wink:
