"If you don't care to spend your day checking out Mustangs, Camaros and other later model stuff, then the annual Key To The Hills car show in Boerne, Texas is just what the doctor ordered. Hosted by the Deuces Limited car club, this event brings together all the best when it comes to Hot Rods. The show features a 1949 cut off year, so there are plenty of coupes, sedans, roadsters and such.

This show is the only event of the year that sees a Texas State Hiway closed!  Highway 46 runs right through downtown Boerne, so there is not only a bunch of hot rods, but plenty of shops and outside vendors to keep everybody happy, and some good food too! This year featured some 350 of Central Texas' best."  Too Low
