I run the American Car Show at the PVGP in Schelney.' Look me up when you get there - Ron George. What are you bringing to the show? I will have my Sterling Gray '14 GT there since my '66 is still back under construction.

It is an amazing show - you won't miss it again if you can help it.

PM me your name and I can look up your registration info.

Sounds good Ron! I will be bringing my 2015 Mustang GT with me... pic below. I am super excited as this will be my first year attending. I plan on riding down with a few buddies, one with a red S550 mustang and the other in a black Z06 Corvette!

Wow that's nice! Will be easy to see you coming in! See you Saturday. Don't arrive before 9:30 or so. Thanks!

We did the kick off rallye in my Chevelle. My son and daughter did it in his Monte Carlo SS. They came in 5th. If they had missed 1 less question they would have been 1st. How long does the car show last? Can you leave once you are in. I would like to bring the car Saturday, but I have to be home by 4:30.

Show cars can arrive between 9:30 and noon or so. You can stay late in the day - or leave at any time. We ask that cars do not leave and return the same day, as that presents a safety hazard because there are so many spectators walking around the show. If you haven't been to the PVGP before I can tell you that once you go you'll come back every year. It is a great event. Last year we had over 3000 cars on the golf course. And the races are a blast to watch. Also - lots of fun to walk thru the pits, check out the cars, and talk to the drivers and owners. Hope you can make it! The $40 donation gets your car in the show both days. No charge for humans. :-). All proceeds go to our charities. If you register online before midnight Thursday you get a $5 discount ($35 donation).

I'll get a couple. He just put Weld wheels on it. It looks great like that.

We are honored and extremely stoked to be there Saturday parking in our AllSquad Group lot #er 19 for the first time! Come say hi!!

I like the welds on the SS. I put them on mine also.

I should clarify. I put draglites on mine. I want the V series and will have a set soon. $2500 for wheels is a tough nut to swallow though.

That looks good! The car is super clean!

[PaxtonShelby]

Yeah that's sweet. Beginning of the rebirth of the muscle car era right there.

[wick]

Very nice. Your son chose a good car right there!

I liked the PVGP car show today. I really liked Camaro #1. You don't get to see weird stuff like that everyday.

Drove through and around while working.

Def some really nice stuff out this year.

[PaxtonShelby]

1958 Buick Estate Wagon - pink - unreal - you never see stuff like that. Best PVGP I have seen - and I have been there since 1993. Our American Show was packed both days - incredible turnout.

[thedak]

Just driving around and blousing throughout the day I have to say there was some seriously nice stuff out.

[PaxtonShelby]

...like the new Ford GT owned by Henry Ford III. He has put over 3k miles on it already. Doesn't get much cooler than that!

[somethingclever]

Weather was ridic all weekend. Usually it's like 100 heat index.

Will have to google some pics.

[Donstang86]

Someone put up some pictures! This sounded like fun!

[Terminated]

Missed it yet again. One of these years!

[PaxtonShelby]

You guys need to get to the PVGP every year - you don't know what you're missing.

Here you go... just your average $400,000 volunteer-fueled fundraiser benefiting 2 charities for the past 35 years... and the entire American Car Show is managed by Ron/Paxton!

There are actually even more cars out of the picture, but this is most of them. Any green spaces on the golf course are too steep for billy goats.
