I thought you'd enjoy these pics of the Iola Old Car Show grounds (and the building surrounded by the grounds) before the vendors start rollling in. These pics were taken July 10 (last night), and vendors will begin setting up after 3 p.m. today, July 11.

All of the "used cars" in the parking lot will soon be replaced by show cars and rusty parts!

By the way, the building is where Old Cars Weekly and Old Cars Price Guide are published.

See you at the show!
