I wanted to know if you had to pick a class for a car show, what class would you pick from the following .. muscle, import or classic? I know muscle is out but can't decide on the others?

Given the choices, I'd select Classic. "Import" just doesn't fit as well to me.
That's what I thought. I guess ever so technically it is a import but classic fits, much broader class but..Quote:

Depends on the competition in each class and whether you want to win a trophy. ;)
If the import judges are looking for the best stanced civic you don't stand a chance.
Similarly for classic if the judges always look for 57 Chevys.
According to the fine folks at Carlisle events, I was an "import" and was told to park with "the other French cars". I thought it was odd, and perhaps a tip of the hat to the P and the R in PRV. I later realized the lady did it based on the name, and had the car been spelled DiLorean, she'd have said to park with "the other Italian cars."Quote:

I almost always do the import category given the option. There's typically less competition. Also, as was mentioned, classic generally denotes a '57 Chevy or '66 Mustang or Vette, Etc.
Also look for categories by year... 80s and newer, etc.

I recommend "Early 80's Irish sports cars with underpowered engines and stainless bodywork" and if a show doesn't have that category by name, it's not worth showing in.
