The draw for Columbus GoodGuys show is that if you want to see the top of the top that's where you go - and you're willing to put up with hot and humid and spend money on flights and hotels etc... if it turned into 1999 "custom" Corvettes and '83 Monte Carlos... would you go?
IMHO the more people that think it's just an "event" and you can drive your new car... the quicker it will become a non-event.  |
Anything newer than 30 years should be excepted by application only. I wouldnt mind seeing any number of cars out there as long as theres been enough done to it. Hot Rodding is Hot Rodding no matter the vehicle.
I had my son out there with me looking over the sea of vehicles. To keep his interest (he is 6), I told him to pick out his favorite cars and I'll take his picture with it. Do I have to tell you how embarrassed I am at the number of pics I have of late model Vettes, Camaros, and Mustangs? Power Tour is working on the future of the hobby as well with this. So let them come but within reason.
