(Words and Photos by Charles Wickam) For those of you that know me, you\u2019re accustomed to me covering all kinds of events throughout the great state of Texas. With a recent move to Colorado I begin new ventures exploring what Colorado has to offer in automotive events, and this weekend being the first event I would attend, The 43rd annual Tri-State Auto Exhibition. The first show took place in 1958 when members of the Sabres car club wanted to put on an event and in that first year there were 70 cars and around 8,000 people who attended and each year the event grew by leaps and bounds. But in the late 90s, there were a few other indoor car shows in the Denver area as well and it came to where people just stopped going to all of them and they became no more. Fast Forward to the present day, and with the Sabre car club still alive and active, they wanted to bring back the event to fill the void because there just isn\u2019t an event during the winter months to hold a person over til the outdoor show season kicks off. Now I\u2019ve been to ALOT of shows around the country and for an event coming off a 20+ year hiatus I was surprised by the quality of vehicles that came out to support the event, from cruisers to pro street, muscle cars, slammed C10s to nostalgic drag and circle track cars it had a little bit of everything for everybody.<\/p>\n

Speaking with one of the Sabres members he has plans of expanding the event to a bigger venue and getting ever more vehicles to participate in next year\u2019s event and look forward to what it may bring, So in the meantime check out the galleries we will be posting thru out the week here at BangShift and if you\u2019re in the Denver area be sure to get out and support the show and if you have a cool enough hot rod, clean\u2019er up and bring\u2019er out.<\/div>\n
