I think setting a cut off year of 1948 or older is the "BOYD CODDIONTONS"(God rest his soul) of the hobby way of keeping out the riff-raff. The "GOOD GUYS" car show has a cut off year of 1972, I have a 1973 mustang you could park beside a 71 or 72 and unless you were a mustang fan you could not tell the difference. But I personaly hate going to cruise-in and seeing PT cruisers or HHR's or any other new fangled vehicle park beside a hotrod,street rod and or muscle car of any kind. I am not beeing brand bias either, as much as I would like to have a new mustang gt or a 02-03 cobra they do not belong in a cruise-in.
