Just out of curiosity why is it only until 1978? Would someone with a 79 be turned away?

Well, let's see. I think the event organizers were consciously trying to stay with a 25 year-old cutoff due to the show's "antique" theme ("antique," per Antique Automobile Club of America, is defined as any model that's 25 years old or older; not coincidentally, the Vintage VW Club of American defines "vintage" the same way). If you look at the car show's main web page, most, if not all of the classes this year have a 1978 model year cut off. I agree that it would be nice to be able to have later model VWs participate, but I'm only the class sponsor, not the show's organizer. Presumably the 1979s will be welcomed at Time Machines 2004...

I wasn't trying to criticize I was just curious :) It struck me as odd cause a vintage car is 20 years old in Canada so I was surprised.
