Cars and people. There was a ton of traffic on South Congress between the bridge and Oltorf. People were sitting out in lawn chairs with coolers watching the cars. Others were walking on the sidewalk and spilling over into the bike lanes taking photos of the cars parked along the street.
I think the show is only Friday and Saturday. I went last year and it was closed on Sunday. If you're wanting to just see the cars, check out the actual car show at the Travis County Expo Center. They also have more to see there and more types of cars. I saw a school bus from 1936 that had been fully restored. And they also have dragsters that they even start up. That was really something to see. You can also have more time to talk to the owners and get better photos if that's what you're into.
But the scene on South Congress was neat. There were all kinds of cars. I saw people sitting out with music from the 50s and 60s playing, and of course there were some pretty cool lowriders. I saw a Lincoln parked on South Congress with hydraulics, and they had the front left wheel about 2 feet off the ground.
I tried getting photos until my battery died. I'll have to post them.
