Well made car show video. Thanks for sharing. By far, my favorite is the mint green Mercury custom @ 24:50. Love that car!

Another nice video of a pretty decent show. I always watch the videos with the sound muted, since the wife is usually watching tv. I was wondering which S10 is yours? If I had to guess I would say the white one with the Thrush decals on the doors. Have a great week and maybe see you at Baxter next weekend.

@@57tagger Thank you!!! You guessed right, the white S-10 is mine. It's a fun little truck, not an award winner, but I wasn't think that way when I built it. I haven't made plans yet, but Baxter is one I'm interested in. Hope to see you at that one.

I go to a lot of car shows and it seems like more and more you see a lot of just normal cars with some wheels or just a brand new car. They seem to let absolutely anyone display a car. Car shows need to be for real show cars, rare cars, pro street, race cars and cars made before 1975. A 96 Caprice is not a show car, nor is a 2023 Dodge Challenger, you can go to a dealership and see them lined up.

@BulletSpoung a lot of people think that way, and I understand. The old hot rods are the stars of the shows, as they should be. I drive a 1995 S-10, it's got a built 350, a built 4l60e tranny, and a posi. There are people who don't even look at it, because it's to new. I don't win awards, but I do get compliments on it. I knew when I built it that would be the case. know some of the guys who own those new cars, and they are far far stock. They spent a lot of money, and a lot of time doing the modifications. For me if your proud of your car, and want show it off, it's fine that it's there. Nobody has to like it or look at if they don't like it. Those caprices weren't stock, and those guys were proud of them. To be honest, I don't like every car at every show, but I film them anyway, because that's somebody's baby, and I know it's cool to get some recognition, even it is just some video on KZbin, because chances are they are like me, they know they aren't going to win, but they have that glimmer of hope others will love thier ride as much as they do. That's just my opinion on things, and I totally get people don't like certain vehicles being at the shows. You like what you like, they like what they like. Like I said in the video, the only qualification for a car to be at a show, for me, is if your proud of it, and want ti show it off, bring it out. Wow, that got way too long. Thanks for watching, and for the comment. Hope to see you at another show soon!!
