3 Things to Do Before Your 1st Car Show
March 12th, 2010
The restoration work on your classic car is far enough along that you’re ready to start showing off your beauty. There is a local car show set for a few weeks from now that you think might work for the debut.
What do you need to do to get ready for your first show?
If you’ve never shown a car before, you are in for a whole lot of fun. There are some things, however, that you’ll need to do to prepare for the big day. Starting out at a local show that is probably fairly small is a great way to go. To get ready, make sure to:
* Inquire about requirements and registrations – Even local shows can have some picky entry requirements. The earlier you inquire; the better. Make sure your car fits the years allowed for entry and take the time to register in advance. Expect a modest entry fee for most small shows. Some, however, may not charge.
* Get your car ready – When it is time to show a car, the ride should be as clean as possible. Polish up the outside and also pay attention to the interior. If the show is judged, the cleanliness can make a big difference.
* Brush up your knowledge – Even at very small shows, owners get asked a lot of questions. Be prepared to field inquiries about the restoration process, the car itself and even its history. The more you know, the more comfortable you will be.
Car shows are incredible experiences for classic car owners who want to show off their rides. Being prepared for a show can make the experience even more enjoyable.
