Most old car guys might even think "why would someone bring that to a car show" if they saw one.
Fact is, what's "special" often doesn't look much different than what's mundane and if you're not into them you wouldn't know.
Imagine showing up to a car event in the early-70s with your '69 ZL1 and some guy with a Model A that they made 4.8 million of tells you that your car isn't special enough to get in the gate because it looks just like the 307/pg car on the used car lot down the street.

In the early 70’s he’s correct. But when his old Ford doesn’t start, leave the show and wave. lol
