Every year the E'ville Iron car club puts on one of the largest street-rod shows in the area with over 4,000 cars each year, huge swap meet and vendor sales area. Last year I was so impressed with the selection of wheels/tires that I had set a goal of getting a new set at this years show. I was also going to have RideTech weigh and do a suspension evaluation on my car but since I was in a wreck yesterday now don't know if either of those will happen. My mustang club also puts on a free/casual cruise-in on the Friday night of the show that normally draws 100+ cars each month to its show but that month we hope to have a few of the street rods as well so should be a good time. Its worth the trip if you are 3-4 hrs(from Evansville Indiana Indiana/Illinois/Kentucky boarder) away in my opinion and I look forward to going every year.

Lots of pics of last years show to look at here:

If anyone is interested an needs help finding a hotel or getting one close to the shows I would be happy to help. Other then that show it is a pretty quiet town. We have a casino boat if your into that, and we are also the fattest city in the nation so there are lots of buffets(true story)...

I think this would about cover it. Looks like someone dumped out a bag of m-m's and skittles if you could see the whole fair grounds.

I can promise ya tony there are enough custom cars that show up dropped/chopped/channeled with custom paint that you would have a good time tony. Its good for a day though as after a couple of hours it becomes just another custom-pre-49 just like the grand canyon becomes just another hole. The swap meet and vendor area though are good for another couple of hours though. Plug that in with the cruise in we do Friday night and it could be a good overnight trip.

Short of that, the best way I have description I have for living here is:
