Damn, Pennsylvania - that’s north of Interstate10 !!
Folks down here in the south would have to learn to read-n-write just to apply for a Passport to get that far north.
Hope it’s a good event for y’all though!

I'm hoping we can attend a show in the southern US this year. I will have to check out the event schedules

The GM show at Carlisle isn't what it used to be, probably the least attended show that Carlisle has. It used to be 3 days like the others but due to GMs apparent lack of interest in supporting it its dwindled to two days.

If you do Bronco bodies the Ford show is the one to be at, that show has gotten hugggggggeeeee these past few years.

 

[RustBeltOffroad]

That's sad to hear. We have been to the Ford show with our Bronco bodies but this will be our first time at the GM show since we started doing the 69-72 K5's. We should probably do the Ford show as well then! Thank you for the info!

Maybe also the Carlisle Truck Show in August, its a huge show and definitely caters more to the truck crowd.

 

[RustBeltOffroad]

Thank you! I definitely think we need to visit that show as well! I appreciate it!

Most likely the best bang for your buck & efforts down in the southeast will be Cruise’n the Coast in October each year in Biloxi, Mississippi.
It’s a week long gig and last year’s registration total was 9,800 entries and an uncountable number of attendees - biggest car show on the planet!
The vendor section is well setup and secure.
Y’all won’t be disappointed - the pockets of many attendees run very deep at this event so bring some sweet examples of all that ya got to sell !

Ive never been to the Carlisle shows. So the GM nationals is anything GM from any year? That's a shame to hear GM doesn't do much.

I was at Barrett jackson in Vegas 12 years ago and GM had all kinds of cool stuff there. They had black and red K5 there with a crate 5.3 flex fuel in it. Pretty common now, but it was cool.

GM nationals is anything GM you are correct

Barrett Jackson definitely has some cool stuff!

My favorite was in one of the back parking lots at Mandalay Bay GM and Ford were giving hot lap rides in Corvettes and Mustangs by Ron Fellows instructors. The driver asked if I was OK with us getting sideways. I said I'm OK if we crash... that was awesome. Those cars were screaming all day long. Only stopping for fuel. Some of the mustangs started smoking from the rear and had to rotate.

Goodguys is at Dover Downs this weekend. I’ll probably hit it one day. Never been to a goodguys event
