Event Coverage Traditional Car show listings????

Im was in the traditional car hot an heavy for along time. Then came along rat rods junk rods what ever u call it. So I faded away an fell deaper in love with choppers. They didnt like me as much as I loved them. Went with the Doctors advice an parked the chopper cause kidney failure. Not sure if it was the bike or my body but blood shouldn't be coming from there...lol.... Anyway I built another after the sale of my bike. I live in Il/midwest an Im so fare out the loop about traditional car shows. That its not funny... So is there a website or something you guys could help me with. I just went to Torque Fest an had a great time....

 

Uhh........ you're here. THIS is the traditional website you're speaking of.

 

You might try contacting the local Model A (nationals at mafca.com and modelaford.org), Early V8 club (earlyfordv8.org) or hot rod club and see if they have a calendar in their newsletter. From there you might be able to get on the distribution for their newsletter at a reduced rate, especially if they send it out email. It is the pits once you get out of the loop on events. Good luck.

Yes, there is a current/active list of Tradition Hot Rod shows (no rat rods) that specifically feature the HAMB friendly traditional hot rods you're look for. First, there is a list here on the HAMB, it's under the thread, Must Attend Car Shows 2017. Here is the link: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/must-attend-shows-2017.1043269/#post-11815109

However, I'll go a bit further for you and list more here. You couldn't be located in a better geographical location! Many of these GREAT shows are literally out your back door.
