Pick a state
I like Kansas. No stupid Classic car rules (yet); Lots of good car shows and cruise ins; good gun laws, and 4 seasons. We usually have some snow, but nothing drastic. I only used my snow blower once last year. Taxes are reasonable. And we are centrally located for easy access to just about anywhere. Look up the Auto Restoration program at McPherson College in McPherson KS. They have an annual car show that is REALLY worth going to.
