  3. I have been coming to both shows for 25 years sad to say but the show has turned into the muscle car show most if not all the saddel lit shows all go to nothing older then a 55 Mind you I love the muscle cars but for the old guys that like TRUE street rods and older cars it’s not much use going I like to see them give out awards in categories say like 49 and under then you have your muscle and so forth Now with that being said I’m still going I love ocean city the people and the town and the show thanks for this opportunity to voice my opinion and see you in the fall at endlessly summer
