Too Low's T-Bird

The great thing about the 8th Annual Fathers Day Car Show is that it brings together a wide variety of cars with something for just about everyone. Sponsored by the Central Texas Region-Antique Automobile Club of America, you'll see custom cars, hot rods, classics, antiques, and even a few that defy description! The area clubs turn out strong for this event including the Road Relics, The Austin Classic Chevy Club, The Donut Gang, Hill Country Street Rods, and a Falcon club who's name I don't know, but it's probably something like Austin Falcon Owners Club. All in all it's a great event and draws over 100 fine cars of all types. See ya there next year"
