Best show in the midwest!!!!!!

Been there the last 2 years!

 

Of coarse we'll be there!!

 

will be a pantless event? or will i be required to wear pants?

 

We can't wait. We will be there early this year. We may even have two vehicles this year, or we could leave the Fiat at home.

 

My friend and I are planning on going. He wanted to drive there in the Plymouth but he has been quite lazy lately. If all else fails I'll be there in the 65 F100.

 

one of the best shows ever

I kinda liked that Auto Trader article. It had some great facts and comments on the show.
Looking forward to this event.

I had a great time last year even though I was only able to stay for three hours due to illness. I can't wait to actually spend a day there this year.

 

Yes, you have to wear pants.
As long as the zipper meets criteria.

Thanks for the kind words in the show guys. I picked up some new friends at the Rust Revival this weekend. Some REALLY good vendor additions to the show. I can't wait.
