ABC News/Mike Dobuski(NEW YORK) Classic car shows have long been a staple of car enthusiasm a place for gearheads to gather with fellow enthusiasts to show off their antique rides. "The vibe is usually really, really chill. It usually happens pretty early in the morning on the weekend," says Kristen Lee, deputy editor of automotive news site, The Drive. "People bring their dogs, they get all their cars polished up and they come and they park, and they kind of just walk around and admire everybody's ride." A recent show in New York City featured the usual classics. Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Corvettes and Chevelles, Pontiac Firebirds, and Dodge Challengers from the '50s and '60s were all well represented. The cars weren't the only throwbacks either music from Billy Joel and Elvis Presley echoed around the event from carefully placed speakers. But Lee says if you've been to enough of these shows, you might start to notice some trends. &qu
