Let me start off by saying that we all have likes and dislikes but the car hobby is huge and without the diversity, it might never have grown to this level. I'm not a hard core custom guy. But, if you've ever tried or succeeded in building a car to a very high level, you surely can appreciate the workmanship involved. I watched a very lengthy video from the show. The customs from the 50's and 60's hit a soft spot. I grew up with those cars in the magazines. For those of us that are aged, you may have gone to a car show in the mid to late 60's and a car that was 30 years old was a 30 or 40 model car. Many don't care for indoor shows but they are still an important part of the hobby. Today we have an age span of many decades at the shows. I'm one of those that don't have one car to be in love with. Many through the years but none important enough to keep forever. I'm aware that many of the cars displayed are someone's real love affair. I think that's great. Many of the cars have fabulous workmanship. In my mind, the style of the theme of a car is what sets it apart from the others. Some get Kool to a level most dream about. I'm sure not there. LOL. I think there was something for everybody. I was impressed that all of the entry tags I saw were printed out instead of hand written. I thought that was a nice touch. I'm happy that in today's world, I don't have to expend the money to go to events that are far away and brave the winter to see what's there. I know it's not the same as in person but with age, I'm not as excited to partake as I once was. For those that went, was there a car that really got you in some way?
One off-topic and lots of on-topic stuff. Here is the off-topic Camaro and all the others are here. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/starbird-show-in-tulsa.1330942/
But, this pickup makes me want to go chase down a 33 that I know of to make sure I get first chance when the guy is ready to sell.
