Classic Car Show (Louisville, KY)

Something about me this week......many people that know me do not know that I have a love for cars, classic cars at that. It all started growing up in Miami where the normal was seeing the "tricked out" low riders, which eventually evolved into box Chevy's and my all time favorite, the Chevy Impala's ( '71-'73). I remember riding in a Chevy with a guy I use to date in high school and I lovvvvved it! I loved everything from the loud pipes to the rims and custom paint.

Years later, I would move to Arizona where I began to see the old school classics like the Chevy Bel Airs and Cameros that would pass me buy on the highway.The trend continued in Atlanta and I began to notice them now more then ever. As a result, I have always wanted to attend a classic car show, and a few weekends ago I did just that in Louisville, KY!

On this particular weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the National Street Rod Association's national meet and car show, and it was nothing short of awesome and amazing (awemazing!!!!). It was like a crayola crayon box exploded on the Louisville fairground and painted the 13,000 plus classic cars various colors. In my book of "life changing" experiences this rates as one of those moments. I will admit it was overwhelming because it was cars everywhere! I think I only had the opportunity to see 5% of the cars that were out there.

One of the coolest experiences was seeing the small community of black car owners with some of the nicest cars out there. Of course, there was a section for the younger guys with the Impalas, Cameros and Chargers.

Inside the exhibit hall is where a car lover's dream resides because they have exhibits galore and car enthusiasts have the opportunity to purchase anything you can imagine for their car, even a frame.

If you are an enthusiasts or you want to have a different type of experience, this is your place. Louisville, KY (or Loouvule as the locals call  it) was also a pleasant surprise and a great experience as well. I can say this is definitely on the list of places to visit again. Besides, who would have thunk.....Kentucky!
