Typically at the local shows are old & new muscle cars, some restomods, some old school hot rods, a occasional smattering of lower-buck antiques (e.g. model A's) and custom pickup trucks.
.

At this show, this am, I had the red Prelude in the last two pics of post #1.
It got a lot of attention from the 40-60 guy group. Almost all would say..."I had one of these and haven't seen a nice one in years" I also got a lot questions about the nitrous kit on it.


Last year, I brought my 84 Carrera. It was shined up beautifully and looked awesome.
I got maybe 3 comments from people. Most would just give it a quick glance and turn their head away as if scared of it. I really think that bringing a Porsche to a car show in a rural farm area is stupid. They don't know what it is and they don't want to ask...
Ford trucks and Corvettes always draw a crowd.
If the car show had been in Grand Rapids....it would be entirely different.
