For years I was involved in the AACA Peconic Bay Region and we had a fall show that had everything from a 1906 ALCO (Black Beast) to a Hemi Daytona. Shows for the most part are static, so I introduce "give a child a ride" and with the parent holding the child we would drive them in a small loop. Unfortunately the event insurer was not pleased so we stopped.

One laughable moment at our show was seeing children look in amazement at how turning a window crank move the window up and down. Once one child saw it a couple dozen wanted a turn, and their reactions were priceless. We also had lectures setup on unique cars so that we introduce young and old to our classic cars. Today children are exposed to other stimulation, computers and video game and are wizzes. Providing exposure to young children and adult benefits our hobby...

My grandchildren are very interested in cars and they've been provided many lessons on respect other peoples property and pops cars.....
