I love it when the hot rods come to town. It makes me feel like I'm in the middle of American Graffiti! :)

HA! Love your post title, Dianne!

You are soooooo clever!

AWESOME shots! The color you captured is stunning. And I have to chime in with Cherie and say that it makes me feel like I'm in the middle of American Graffiti!

To me, this is when cars had STYLE!

The blue Ford in the third photo: My parents had one like that when I was a kid, but it was black, and became known in family history as The Old Black Ford.

A year ago we spent Easter Weekend on our boat in downtown Ft Myers -- when we walked into town for dinner Saturday night there was a car show going on -- it's an old fashioned looking town too and the old cars looked so great -- we really enjoyed it.

I can see me burning rubber in the red hot beauty. Nice post, Lady Di. Both my hometown and where I live presently have antique car shows during the summer months. I can hardly wait. I LOVE oldies. Cheers!!

The Vipers look incredible, but I’d love to see a couple of Chevy’s in there! My friends and I are car show fanatics, and the last we’ve been to had great customized models! One of which I would never forget: a customized Camaro with golden-yellow and white detailed rims, and the same color scheme with its body.

Awesome classics in different styles and colors! The all look incredible! Well, every time you go to a car show, you should really capture images of these gorgeous cars. It could serve as a great remembrance of the said event; likewise you can even create a photo collection out of it!
