    Old Town, Kissimmee FL, every Saturday night at 8:30pm.

    It's not flashy, but it's steady. Some nights are better than others but not sure if there's a reason for that. Get there an hour earlier you can check out the cars and talk to the owners. First night I went I nearly wept, 490 cars.

    I plan on going to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona this year for the first time, but missed last weekend's Dream Cruise there.

    At various times I would have said the Monterey Historics, Paso, Oakland Roadster Show, Back to the 50's, Goodguys Pleasanton.

    Now? I dunno. Waiting for the next favorite, I guess.

    For my area of the US, I would have to say The Frog Follies, last weekend in August. Then the Pumpkin Run.

    I have always liked going to the LA Roadster Fathers Day Meet and the Outriders Picnic. Both are great events with a variety of cars and a chance to meet new friends and renew old aquaintences.

    Wheels of time in Macungie-just bc my father and I do it together every year...
    Lead east-partying with the best guys here in the east!
    Hershey-again with my father every year
    Pumkin Run-the old junk yard is just cool!
     
  28. I won't be biased towards my own show, but I would have to say that the Rust Revival, Hunnert, Cheaterama and the Lonestar Roundup all are on the top of the list. All for different reasons.

    LA Roadster's Show.....has a great swap area, a good mix of customs/rods in the specialty parking, it has history and most importantly, it's only 10 minutes from my house.
