As I mentioned in my last post, I grew up and still live in New York City. That annual show you are referring to was tremendous! Unfortunately, like most everything else that is or was good here, it went the way of the pyramids. It was held at the then 59th Street Coliseum and was called the Rod & Custom car show. We still, I think, have the annual International Car Show. Never was much into that one, as it's basically like going to a large new car dealership with a handful of famous and/or customized cars sprinkled in.
I grew up working on Musi’s car and selling racing gas in Englishtown.
