    Our 43 rd show was hosted by the Sunshine Region AACA at the Sarasota Square Mall on US 41 and Beneva Road in Sarasota.It was a show that surpassed last year in cars, visitors, and vendors.Our site was on the US 41 side of the mall and its location was tight.We could not close off the entrance to the mall to customer traffic and thus participants found it a long process to park their cars.We had the gamut of cars from hotrods to antiques to military vehicles.We even had a boat.But we did manage to have a Kaiser!
