Sometimes the parents look a bit concerned!
But in the end they smile and say "Thank You"

I also explain that they can't touch all the cars and this is a special opportunity.

That is EXACTLY what I do! And when I had the Model A coupe I would give the parents a ride around the neighborhood and then put the kids in the rumble seat for the parade through town after the cruise-in. Now THEY had something to talk about!

I will NEVER be a grumpy old man. Old cars are for fun, not for posing and polishing.
