Of B17s and car shows

I'm not a big fan of car shows. There's typically no shade, and it's hot. Plus, I feel most cars that show up are repeats. It's great some guy is proud of his '67 GTO, but to me it looks pretty much like any GTO I've ever seen.

So why the preceding whinge? To underscore that yesterday's car show was different. An elderly gentleman showed up towing a Wright Cyclone engine from a B17 behind his WWII Jeep. I found that thing fascinating, and he was thrilled to have someone asking questions. We must have talked about that engine for 15 minutes.

So, what cool, oddball, stuff have you encountered at a car show?
