The first car I ever bought was a 1968 Mustang. I got it in 1974. The mileage on it wasn't that high and it was in good shape. Oh, how I wish I would have cared for that vehicle and kept it well maintained. Not only would I have a vehicle that could be worth a considerable amount of money, I would also have a cool looking car I could show in tonight's car show.

Wait. You didn't know there was a car show? Yes there is. It's the Southwest Tech – American Car Culture: Automotive Program Car Show. It will be held at the Automotive & Tech Building of Southwest Tech at 555 West 800 South. It will run from 6PM to 8PM and along with the beautiful cars, there will be music, food and door prizes. And it's free.

Almost every week, one of our regular Tradio callers tells me he will be off to another car show somewhere in or near southern Utah. I think I understand why.
