World of Wheels 2006 took place at the Qwest Center Omaha this past weekend. Always a great event, I didn't get to go last year, so I was really happy to get the opportunity this year. I've posted a picture gallery of some vehicles that peaked my interest during the show.
Overall, the show seemed smaller this year than it has in years past. I really don't know if it actually was or not, just that it seemed smaller. There was a great representation of classic cars, modifieds, racers, etc. As you can see in the pictures, the Batmobile from the original Batman TV show made an appearance.
My one big beef was that there was way to much floor space devoted to "sound cars", cars whose only claim to fame is the audio/visual systems that have been stuffed into them. It's interesting in a few, but really, there are only so many variations on the theme. I'm wondering if the high percentage of the show-floor space devoted to this was because of lack of entries in the other categories.
And, yes, I did start to long after a 1970 Chevelle again after attending this show.
