Do your eyes light up when you spot a car, truck, or
motorcycle that you identify with adventurous memories? Perhaps it was a trip
to the beach in an old pickup truck or a panel truck shown in businesses owned
by relatives you never met.
Car shows and parades are inexpensive to attend. They’re a

The attractions fit every pocketbook. Events may be within
50 miles of your home and cost little to nothing to attend. Pack a lunch and
some drinks for a picnic. Family and friends can enjoy talking about their
favorite set of wheels!

manufacturers to succeed and still make cars today? How did WWII affect auto
manufacturing around the world?
