The 46th annual National Street Rod Association’s Street Rod Nationals is one of the biggest shows I’ve attended. Encompassing all of the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, it’s size and scale is fairly comparable to the SEMA show in Las Vegas…I have yet to make it more than halfway through this event, period. They park cars on the lawns.

They park cars on the streets. And indoors, where all of the vendors are stationed, are some absolutely gorgeous pieces of rolling stock on display, along with the wares of every company attending, from the likes of Total Cost Involved and BrakeQuip to Holley and Edelbrock.

For this gallery, we’re going inside the center while it is still early and the crowds are down. From beautiful early iron to race cars like Tommy Ivo’s Rod Shop Dodge Duster funny car to “Sgt. Rock”, Stacey David’s 1941 Dodge Power Wagon, there is plenty to see here, and we have more coming later on this week!
