Need your help to locate domestic car shows...

Alright folks, I need your help... I attended the Good Guys Car Show last year and it was great. I'll be attending 4 more from them this year. I also recently found out about the Alameda Classic Car Show (10/11/2008) and I would love to attend that one this year as well. I am looking to have 1 a month if possible, if not 8 a year would be very nice. So I need 3-7 more! HELP! I am looking for domestic and euro car shows that are similar to what Good Guys put up.

You could try to hit up the pebble beach concourse, or any of the associated shows, it's a week long shindig.

last show i went to was about 2 years ago.. right before my accident and it seemed like over a 100 cars in the show. Lots of people showed up to see it as well. I can ask Bryan for better details seeing as he grew up here and usually goes every year.

Cool, thanks a bunch! BTW, do you remember seeing Meguiar's out there? I see that they are a sponsor of the show. Thanks again!

IIRC, July is now covered.

Edit: I guess it's in June this year.
