what id like to know is:
when,where and what are the best custom type shows?

Re: birthday trip

What vacation sites in the US would you like to see; Orlando, Las Vegas, southern California? Pick a few and see if there are any cars shows nearby. Most car shows only last a few days(maybe 3), what will you do the rest of the time? It would be easier to help you if we knew where you'd like to go and what time of year(summer-winter). There are some winter car shows in the south. Combine a car show with a vacation, I always try to do that. How long will you be here? If you are here over 2 weekends maybe you could hit two shows.

You might consider the HOT ROD POWER TOUR. It is a blast. Lots of car shows, drag raceing, you get to see alot of the country. I went in 1998 and had a great time. I'd like to go again! I know a few of the SY TY folks have gone.

If your into 49 and older street rods the largest show is in Louisville KY every year. I think 12k cars this year.
