Chrome Dreams and Yesterday’s Wheels: Soaking Up the Glory at the Annual Classic Car Show
There’s a certain magic in the air at a classic car show. It’s more than just polished chrome and gleaming paint; it’s a journey back in time, a celebration of engineering artistry, and a gathering of passionate souls who appreciate the beauty and history held within these four-wheeled treasures
A classic car show is more than just admiring beautiful machines. It’s about the people. I had the chance to chat with several owners, each eager to share the story of their beloved vehicle. For some, it was a family heirloom, lovingly restored and preserved through generations. For others, it was a passion project, a testament to years of hard work and dedication. Their eyes would light up as they spoke of engine rebuilds, paint jobs, and the thrill of taking their classics out on the open road.
The Cruise TV show captured some of this last year. Check out their episode.
Years as travel editor for a NYC newspaper shaped my understanding of several special things. I love to convey the wonder and "whoa's!" of places I go, and I am always eager to share relevant tips to people like me, mainly etiquette and emotions.
Come on out to the Car Show and you might get featured on TV
