At least back in 2011, this was a smaller regional show.   Looking at the website, it appears bigger now.   The bulk of the show in 2011 was American Muscle cars and Hotrods.  There were two rather rare cars at this show:

• Pontiac GTO “The Judge”
• 1971 Dodge Challenger 426 Hemi

The 426 Hemi was equipped with the pistol grip shifter made famous by the moving ‘Vanishing Point’.    It was quite cool to see one in the flesh.  It is much more common to see a 440 Challenger than a real Hemi.

At the time I attended this show, I did not have this website.   This is the last of the USA shows I attended that I had not uploaded.   Had I not moved away, I probably would have attended this show again if I was free on the day.

Cool off any strip

Lay on our 426-cube V8 and… ZAP! Drag records fall like pelted partridges. That’s because horsepower comes so close to matching displacement that few moving things are its equal.

The 426’s stablemates, too, give you more rubber-scorching potential than the competition. There’s the 383 with four barrels. The 383 with two. And the 318, our standard V8, that’ll out-drag about any standard engine in the low-price field. This one’s remarkably thrifty too.

And here’s one thing to remember. There are 24 models of the standard size ’63 Dodge. Every one is in the low-price field! See them at your Dodge Dealer.
