Today I attended an antique aircraft fly-in and show, coupled with an old car display.  They parked me next to a '57 scrub convertible that looked over-restored to me.  Even his dual quad "batwing" air cleaner had more gloss than my whole car.  I was driving the '57 Bird with F power.  My car is a driver, and even a pure stock drag racer.  Well, guess which one got more attention, by about a 2-1 margin.  The scrub finally packed his lawn chairs and left before the air show was over.
