This year's Good Guys show was a week later than past years. That was a good thing because it usually conflicts with my Dad's yearly Barbershop convention, so he hasn't been able to go.
This year he was able to join me and we had a great time. We spent about 8 hours on our feet July 14th on concrete and asphalt at the fairgrounds looking at over 6,000 pre-1973 hot rods, customs and street rods. It was worth every minute and the aches and pains later. The Columbus event has grown into the largest Good Guys show in the nation. Chip Foose was here, as was Boyd Coddington, although we didn't see either. Too many cool cars to see.
Dad has pretty much the same reaction I did the first year I went. He kept saying something like 'Wow, this is so cool.' It's amazing and overwhelming at the same time. I tried to get him to buy a nice 1965 Baraccuda Formula S that was similar to a car he had when I was growing up. OK, the color, engine, interior and transmission were all different. It was the same year model, though. He wasn't biting though.
As is my custom, you can view the gallery of pictures (over 200 this year) in the Salguod Gallery. Someday I'll get a link to that up here.
I'm glad you guys had a good time. I could do that if it were tractors but cars would be too much for me. :) I could probably do an hour or two though.
