I have been to shows like that. Most times the car club running the show will award trophies to the club members. They all vote for each other. I just go to enjoy the day. If I get some recognition then so be it.
I more so enjoy the shows at retirement homes where the folks remember these cars when new. Some who have owned them. Their eyes look off into the distance remembering. Last year at a retirement home an elder woman began weeping when she saw my Buick. She said her mother exclaimed she would never be able to parallel park a big Buick. She said she did. Learned to drive in a 54 Buick. This woman spent the rest of the day next to the Buick just taking it all in and reminiscing. In fact, next weekend is the show for the same retirement home. Hope she is there again.
