East Coast Indoor Nationals 20th Anniversary by Dave Kelly

How many all-American Invitational indoor car and motorcycle shows are left? Not many and only one that I know of on the East Coast. Celebrating its 20 th anniversary, the East Coast Indoor Nationals was the best I have ever seen and I have been to all of them. Even a little inclement weather, could not keep the thousands of enthusiasts away.

The quality of the vehicles was second to none. The judges had a real tough time deciding which of these great cars, trucks and motorcycles would walk away with some of the $6,500 in prize money. In addition to the money there are 85 high quality awards to be given away. There were four Riddler contenders and a huge selection of rods, customs, antiques, muscle cars and custom motorcycles, the finest on the East Coast. The BEST of SHOW award and $1,000 went to the 1935 Ford Street Rod owned by Harold & Rhea Schrader. Add a very large vendor area, free parking, good food and the best DJ in the area, Mac Thomas, and you have a great show.

The pictures will tell the rest of the story.

This show is supported by Allogram, Inc., Auto Spa, Bay Country Financial Services, Bob Davidson Ford Lincoln Mercury, Salvo Auto Parts, Hot Rods Plus, and Auto Round-Up Magazine.
