Diggerdan11 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) So this past weekend I took my Chevelle to our local car show and cruise. http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/26768-the-69-chevelle/ It was a great turnout and the weather was perfect (sunny and 75). There was about 480 cars, not bad for a small town of less than 45K people. There were some really nice cars, and some cars that were ruined by poor detailing. I figured I would share a few pictures since I know everyone on here cant get sick of looking at classics. I love this car I figured Adam might like this one. Its pretty close to his.

Diggerdan11 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 And now for the Bad I have been cursed with the detailers eye, and it always amazes me how people put some much effort into restoring their vehicles and yet they do not put any effort into detailing them. This car is owned by a guy my wife went to school with. He got it for his 18th birthday as a present. Guess what he does for a side job? Thats right he is a "detailer." He was trying to convince my wife to have him detail her car, she just laughed at him The location I sat at for the night cruise gave me a great view of several bad details.

matts88yj Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Nice mix of classics. I'd rather go to a car show like this and just look around rather than show my own ride. After what was a BS show, people touching and even one going as far as to lean on my car, I'm done. Sure it's no Aston Martin but it's MY car. Plus all of the flyers they put in your seats! Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to heard the Vette in that direction You should, its only a 3 1/2 hour drive for you. Its a great show and the weather and location are great. The only complaint most people have are the bugs around the lake. They were really bad this year and almost impossible to avoid. But if you come down the day before in the middle of the day there are a lot less bugs out vs the morning or in the evening. You will just have to makes sure to load up all your Adams stuff and give her a nice cleaning before the show. Nice mix of classics.

Most people are very respectful of the vehicles and take extra care to not touch, but thats not always the case. I had to yell at a lady who was standing by my car talking to someone and she put her elbow on my roof while she was talking. I also get annoyed at people putting flyers in the vehicle, but sometimes thats the only way to learn about other car shows in that area.

Never again. Most of the car shows in our area do not allow filers dropped in the car, but to having a central table ot tables for clubs or events to put there fliers on. If you want one you grab one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
