If you’ve never been to a car show before, you may not know exactly what happens. Why do tons of people attend these local car shows? Car events are usually attended by people of all ages who have one thing in common: they love cars. It doesn’t really matter if they’ve been to dozens of shows or if they’ve never been to a car show and just come to simply view cool looking cars. Everyone is welcome.

Most car shows feature a large number of cars, trucks and often tractors. Some of these vehicles are classics that have been lovingly restored, while others are newer models that are popular with car enthusiasts.

Car Shows are usually localized, typically consisting of car enthusiasts who meet to socialize and share their enthusiasm with other car owners who love to exhibit custom, classic, or exotic cars.

2018 Best in Show

Jack began entering the El Camino in various car shows around the Lower Shenandoah Valley in 2004 after receiving many accolades for the cars good looks. Jack’s El Camino has won 23 trophies culminating in the recent Best in Show at the 2018 Shawquon Ruritan Car Event.
