I use to love going to the car shows in Denver and then in Tulsa. Such cool stuff, old and souped up new! Cute guys to boot! 
JK! The trucks were about my faves. Even the big ones with the fixed up living space behind. I could be a truck driver in a rig like that and never need to go home!

Yes, I also really like classic cars both original and customized (modernized).
Couple of more pictures. The first is an original race car from 1946 (I think it was a 46 model). That was my favorite car on the show.
The second is a LARGE Buick (about 1935 or something?)
And the last one is a cool truck for you jod

.Fantastic - that sportster looks like an Italian...maybe Alfa Romeo or Bugatti? and so beautifully restored, talking of which:
"But now, it seems, you can even order all-new, factory-approved Mustang bodies rather than having to scrounge up rusted and dinged-up originals."
Love Mustangs! On a recent holiday in the States my wife and I hired a big-ass Mustang and drove the highways and byways of some stunning parts of America. It was a joy to drive with tons of power under the hood.
Among my classic sports car faves is the Big Six Austin Healey (in BRG, of course) and that 'fifties icon the Chevvy Corvette - both magic designs. And going further back what about the Jaguar SS100 and the Merc SSK?
I was fortunate enough to own a Triumph sports car which had to go when we started having kids...always regretted seeing that beauty drive away....
I had a friend who used to restore old cars as a business, and you cannot believe how much work goes into getting those paint jobs absolutely right and deeply glossy - coat after coat of paint, each painstakingly buffed to perfection.

Really cool pics. I loved the 1946 race car, it's beautiful.
I always liked cars, specially classic cars. Right now I'm trying to restore a 1981 TR7, not really a classic and not really a beautiful car but it's my little project. It's been abandoned for 10 years so he has been eaten by mice and it's not in a good condition.
