What are some large semi-national car shows worth traveling for?
hey everybody - last few years i've been trying to attend a larger car show outside of my state (western NY). trying to find some new ones but having trouble searching online. when i search, it's giving me like every car show happening this summer. i'm looking for larger shows and not typical local lawn fetes, animal shelter fundraisers, etc... i know of some like: Woodward Dream Cruise, Good Guys, Carlisle, Syracuse Nationals, Pontiac Nationals, Radwood... can anyone recommend some shows like this in the NE, mid-atlantic or SE?? thank you.

Last year we had close to 10,000 registered cars/trucks and probably just as many unregistered.

The shows where they keep the HOODS Closed, so you can see and appreciate the vehicle's great styling !
I took my family to the "Father's Day" car show, at Greenfield Village, in Dearborn Michigan. it was a probably the best I have ever been to!
