Too Low's T-Bird

“Too Low” & his T-Bird

"Honoring our American Veteran's is not something they take lightly in Bastrop, Texas. This Veteran's Day Car Show moved to downtown Bastrop several years ago and just keeps on getting more popular. The Bastrop Area Cruisers car club handle the car show duties. Along with the show, there is live music, a huge vendors area, and a ceremony honoring those who have served our country in the military.

The number of entries broke 300 for the first time this year and the quality of those entries keeps increasing too. I'm starting my coverage of the Bastrop Show with "Too Low's Pick Of The Show"
