For nearly as long as there have been cars, there have been car shows. Many of the earliest car shows were held so manufacturers could debut their latest models to the public.
But as the love affair between the public and their automobiles grew, so did the desire for owners to personalize their cars to make them unlike anything else on the road, and naturally, they wanted a place to show off these beauties. It didn’t take long for car owners to gather to appreciate each other’s efforts, and so the local car show was born.
The car show takes many forms, from a gathering of like-minded enthusiasts in a parking lot, to a cruise night on a favorite stretch of road or a more organized and judged event. With little effort most enthusiasts can find a car show in their area almost every weekend during the summer months.

Regardless of where you live, every region has that one must-attend event. For those of us in the upper Midwest that event is the “Back to the Fifties” car show sponsored by Minnesota Street Rod Association and held in St. Paul, MN. This 3-day event draws in this region’s finest 1964 and older cars and trucks.
