Went to a AACA sanctioned show in Franklin, TN this past Sat. Trucks seem to be treated like unwanted stepchildren. There were 34 classes. Only two were for trucks. 1900-2010 for stock or modified. Proud to say we took third place in the modified class. This was a serious show. They had just about every American car made and plenty of high-price foreign cars including two Rolls Royces, completely restored, from the 1920's.


As I grow old I find I'm glad I lived in a time when "common sense" was... common.

Congrats! Trucks have to fight for recognition at those shows. You did good.

You have a very legitimate complaint.
Trucks out sell cars every year but then aren't
given much recognition at the shows.

Congrats! Feel lucky. For years AACA judging did not include anything modified unless an antique race car.Even that had to be original to it.

That may well be the problem guys,as they say... familiarity breeds contempt,maybe many folks don't consider trucks special or rare enough.JMO
