I also think it's odd to just walk up and take a picture of a fender tag.
Those same Dickheads are the very ones to say most Young'uns are too lazy to be bothered with "real" hotrods, can't understand why the hobby isn't as strong as it was even 15yrs ago, then re-join their "Uppity Club" buddies, laughing at/complaining about the New Kid. It's up to Us to encourage & set a better example to the next generations......
No offense meant to anyone with newer cars, but that's one thing I detest at car shows....even though we don't go anymore. What the HELL does a brand new Challenger have any business winning best of show? When there are guys who've built their cars from the ground up scraping money up, searching for hard to find parts for their vintage cars, only to be won out by something somebody just bought new? It's bullshit and it's unfair. I like some of the new stuff, but it's bullshit to have them judged in the same class as something somebody "BUILT".
That's the part I like! I like that I am a small minority in the car world. Almost without fail when we take Vixen to town, somebody asks "what's that?" They don't even know it's a Plymouth, much less a 64 Valiant. I like that.I agree its kinda weird going to a car show and it seems like half the cars are either new Corvettes or new Challengers. Why would I want to bring something to a cruise night where I know there will easily be a dozen just like it?
Whenever i go to cruise nights (at least around here) there'll be maaaaaybe 1 other A-body there
Ima hafta check mine I never noticed...2 painted screws is a fail.
There should be 1 painted screw, and 1 un-painted screw if you want to get technical.

Thats still clean air. May have some valuable?I had a 67 Barracuda FB that had original air in the tires!
WOW!! What in the &^^% are some people thinking? Unbelievable."Dusterdawg" and I were at a show. We walked straight down the row to get a slice of Pizza. On the way back. Mike said "Who's in your trunk?" There was a guy laying in my trunk looking at the vin next to the speaker hole. By the time I got back from when we saw him he got out and ran. The girl parked next to me heard them talking. They were there at first looking at the Data plate. Maybe they were looking for a stolen car. There wasn't a matching number on the orange Duster anyway. He did scratch my tail stripe.
Some people have no respect and some are just up to no good. After that I would put a magnetic sticker over the vin and tape the Data plate off . Trunk was never left open again. I would lock and close the hood if I was walking away from the car
