Re: Attention you get on the road

On Saturday I hauled some old 19.5 tires into the tire shop for disposal with my '74. The shop owner was all over the truck, peeking in the fenders and asking all sorts of questions. I was happy to talk with him- usually I find those guys are more down to earth anyway and can appreciate the older trucks.
I'm a member of our local car club and taken it to a couple shows downtown. As a new guy to the club and to town no one really knows me that well but I'd say only one club member really showed interest in the truck, even with the club president as my next door neighbor. I'm one of the youngest guys in the club too, club participation is pretty low for anyone 40 and younger. I've made the effort to make it known I'm working on my Napco pickup and asked what other members are up to but no one seems interested or even responds. If it was a muscle car or car in general there would be more interest.
