Dave Lewis, a car guy has been going to this show for as long as he can remember but he’s only had his car entered in it for two years. He heard about the show from other car guys and he said his favorite thing is “the variety of cars that are here.” This year he entered his own car. Dave has a 1968 Chevelle 300.
