Not showing our cars anymore?

[Lona]

Went to a local car/boat/airplane show yesterday which is the largest and most popular annual show in our area. There were at least 150 cars there and probably many more. There were only two Model A's owned by guys who drove together from some 50-60 miles away. My wife would have attended with her '31 roadster but was away visiting family for the weekend. At another large show about 80 miles from us some three weeks ago, there were none. (too far away for our roadster ) At many of the events we go to, we are the only Model A to show up.

The question is with so many A's still in existence and road worthy, why do we see fewer and fewer at shows as the years go by? Is it because we A owners are getting older and no longer interested in attending shows? Is it because when we do go, there is little interest in our cars by the crowd who are drawn more to the muscle cars? Or, maybe it's just a local thing where there are just not that many A's around here anymore.

Do others around the country see this decline of interest in showing our cars? Are there other reasons for this trend? Is this just another sign that our hobby is in a downward spiral with few younger folks joining to carry on?
