Well if you have ever been up there and know how big the Noah's Ark parking lot is..well thats the car show, its packed! It takes about a good 2-4 hours to look at every car. It feels like your in the 50,60,70's there! I think about 1200 cars were there last year, and then there are a lot of F-body too!
