Re: What do you do for car shows?

Good question! I think every person is different, and is going to give different answers, from "I don't do anything but let the car speak for itself" all the way up to "I go all out with displays, sign boards, still lifes, videos and every thing else".

That being said, I'm also interested in the responses on this one. I'm in the process, as we speak of updating an Excel file which highlights some of my car's pertinent information and some of the things I've done to improve it, what's next on the list, and what's down-the-road a bit as far as project work. Since my car is a '53, I started another tab in the same Excel file called "1953 At-A-Glance and start outwith some compare and contrast then and now as far as salaries, price of a gallon of gas, etc. I also listed the popular music and tv shows of the day as well as key highlights of world events for that year. Nothing fancy, it'll just be printed out and placed in a binder with some clear page protectors. I also plan on photo-copying my owners' manual and other info and putting that in there, along with the color chip samples.


I did buy an aluminum drive-in tray and some fake food from a nostalgia site to hang on the side of the car. We'll see how that plays out.

What's every one else doing?
