It’s the start of the Memorial Day Weekend which also signals the start of the car show season. Given that Michigan is corporate home to the Big Three automakers, it’s not surprising that there are vintage car shows, juried car shows, muscle car shows, and classic car shows.
There are often awards for different categories too: the Best in Show, the Best Classic, and the People’s Choice.
These events draw many spectators of a summer’s evening. They come to admire the pristine attention given these vehicles by their owners. Additionally, where I live these shows are often free, an added attraction.
As for me, I’m not a car buff. I can’t remember what logos go with what brands, don’t understand what makes a car stylish, and am not interested in breaking ninety miles an hour on the highway. I do like seat warmers though.
And frankly, I’ve never seen a car I’ve owned personally at any show. Perhaps it’s because over the years I’ve driven a Pacer (discontinued in 1980), a Chevette (1986), an Opel (1991), a Neon (2005), a Saturn (2010), a Scion (2016), and a Golf (2021).
I rest my case.
