I have attended the Richmond Nats the last three years because they are held very close to my home and I don't recall seeing many late models (post '49) but there were some so they must have allowed them. Being in high school in the '50s allows me to appreciate lead sleds of that era and later Chevies with Olds trim etc. Generally the cars at the Nationals are at a much higher level of quality than just at a "Mall Meet" so maybe it will not be much of a change. Maybe I have just not seen the more outrageous late models but it is the same old problem of availability of older iron in spite of the many 'glass replicas now available. Anyhow I go to see the '28-'40 models and subconsiously regard the later models as tow cars but there are some pretty neat "customs" which usually have upgraded engines. I am attaching a picture of a neat custom from last year which was moving when I took the picture so I did not get all of it, but that is a pretty nice ride in my book and it sounded like a V8.
