Through the months of March and October, PoBoys Car Club out of Canton, GA hosts a monthly car show. This month's show was held at The Mill on Etowah and was free for the public.
A few of the classics received special treatment and were shuttled over. The car show also held a $5 raffle with proceeds going to charity.
Members brought out their classics and left them out on display for people walking by. Some cars were duplicates including this Camaro z28.
This car was left in it's original form and hasn't received too many updates over the years. With most of the cars there being a bit on the older side, it's not uncommon to see people make a few changes.
"We don't usually see too many people with the same car as us so it's kind of a coincidence we're both out here," the car's owner commented. Most of the owners at the car show wished for privacy and wanted the attention more on their cars rather than them.
Another Camaro z28, however, this model has received a few tweaks over the years. The owner added some decals to the hood of the car to add a personal touch.
Some adjustments were made underneath the hood as well. "I've touched pretty much every nut and bolt in this car," the owner said.
Camaro's are one of the most sought after classic muscle cars today. The owner admitted that although reluctant to change the interior, it was nearing that time.
This 1969 Chevrolet El Camino was found in Georgia back in 1987. Owners Bob and Nicole have "put in too much time with it" over the years.
A few of the changes Bob added to the classic was tinting the windows, customizing the bed of the car and changing the horsepower from 350 to 410 HP. He also changed out the tires for some newer ones.
This Ambulance made its way all the way from Stevens County in Washington (the state). The owners had to it shipped here as it would not have been able to make the drive.
The car doubled as an Ambulance but also as the Sheriff's vehicle. This was the standard for many of these types of vehicles at the time.
PoBoys member Joe Cassidy, poses next to his 1944 Ford truck. He bought the car about three years ago and loves to bring it out.
"It came pretty much done already so I didn't have to put too much work into it," Cassidy said. He loves getting the chance to come to car shows to meet and talk with other car owners like himself.
Members were given flyers for the next big car show event. Piedmont Church in Marietta will host a car show on Father's Day for everyone to come out.
The car show featured all types of cars, some old and some new. The 1966 Chevrolet C-10 was one of the many cars that passed down from previous generations.
Owners Nicole and Ronnie named the car O'Blue for its bright sky blue color. It also has most of the original parts including the motor and transmission.
He also added his own personal touch to it, including this pair of dice hanging from the mirror. He's also made some adjustments to the power steering, transmission and brakes as well.
