    Nice car, looks clean and well detailed. Hard to compete when they stick you next to a blown Camaro. Seems no matter how many of those are at a car show people still flock to them.

    Definitely some really nice cars at the show. It was Little Rock's biggest one of the year and they actually paid about 8 guys to bring in their "marquee cars". (They couldn't compete however)

    I think I'm going to install a "bat turn lever" in my car. Elvis approved!

    I have Ol Maverick Man----------my car is one that lots more people at the show could relate to. I bet half the people's comments were "I haven't seen one of those in a long time" or something like "I didn't realize how cool looking those cars were".

    I've got absolutely no desire to abandon my baby so I can have "just another" 70's car!!

    The sun was just the right angle in the sky the other day and captured what I think is my best photo of it yet. I'm proud of her.
