(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) – \u00a0<\/i><\/strong>2020 marks the 60th<\/sup> annual Cavalcade of Customs in Cincinnati.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been visiting this event for quite a while and always enjoy it.\u00a0 This first collection of photos browses through many of the vehicles posed on carpet, typically with ornate displays, perhaps some mirrors, and definitely some accent lighting.\u00a0 Most can be found immediately to your left when entering the show which is located in the Duke Energy Center on 5th<\/sup> street (there\u2019s a direct exit off the Interstate that practically puts you inside).\u00a0 As long as the Bengals aren\u2019t in the later stages of the NFL playoffs getting around and finding a parking spot is not a problem.\u00a0 The cost of parking is not something we\u2019re used to and we will suppose most folks are more familiar with it.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard parking at SEMA could cost you a kidney so I\u2019m not going to complain too much.<\/p>\n

Scattered through the coverage I\u2019d added some of the better shots from the load out as cars drove off into the night.\u00a0 I cannot report any noteworthy shenanigans despite the efforts of the onlookers.\u00a0 Last year it was a snowy, slushy mess and conditions were much better this year with temps in the 40s.\u00a0 The best part of the load out\u2026one guy asked a non-show car to do a burnout because everyone else was proving to be a wimp.\u00a0 They obliged with the best tire squeal their ride could muster.<\/p>\n

The bright yellow ZL1 was immaculate and I\u2019d never even seen one in that shade.\u00a0 For the day it was amazing they actually produced a car like this for public consumption.\u00a0 I was super impressed with the copper Bonneville.\u00a0 Personally I believe these cars are more classy than a Cadillac of this vintage and rarely see an example this nice.\u00a0 Lastly the colorful \u201972 Maverick had a lot of folks staring at the ultra-straight panels and super-brilliant colors.\u00a0 Most folks don\u2019t think \u2018Maverick\u2019 when pondering show cars, but this one was quite a looker.\u00a0 We hung around for almost two hours after the show and I didn\u2019t get it hear it run.\u00a0 Maybe next time.<\/p>\n

Come back for more from our first car show of 2020.<\/p>\n
