In contrast to the FP story what's the best person you meet at every car show?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
For me? It's the guy with weird engine swap, ya know a Turbo T-bird drive train in a 63 Falcon Ranchero, or a 2Jz in a 77 Celica or an early Hemi in an old Plymouth with a LPG conversion.
What say you?

Pretty sure your answer should have been - "guy with a kickass Montego!"

We don't have those in middle america, just the bartender at the VFW who gives you 2 beers for the price of one.

At big shows, it's always the magical moment when someone else has the same car as me. I mean, it's trivial, but when you show up in a car with extremely low production numbers, and you end up meeting someone else with one, it's pretty cool.
Or the really cool guy with the project car that you get to see evolve over time.

The cool exotic owner. Rare, but they do exist saying things like, "do you want to see the engine?" and "Excuse me ma'am, do you want to take a picture of your kid in the driver's seat holding the steering wheel?" Instead of buffing every dust particle and making sure you don't get 20 feet too close

The guy who knows a lot about the car he is driving and is open to talk about the car, especially the expensive ones. There was a guy at Portsmouth, New Hampshire C and C who had a Model S P85, he was very open to discuss his car.

The guys who you know are legit all-around good people. Like the older gentleman I talked to about his restored Volvo. He knows not many people care about a restored Volvo, but he loved talking to me about it.
There was also the guy I talked to who had just bought a Factory Five Type 65 coupe. The guy was happier than a kid on xmas morning and couldn't wait to pop the hood for me.
Or the guy at the Mecum auction in Monterey who talked to me and let me sit in his Chevy 350 swapped Porsche slantnose. He knew I wasn't an interested buyer, but still didn't mind talking to me
