48th Annual Asphalt Angels Car Show
The Asphal Angels held their 48th annual Festival of Rods
and Customs on Valentine's weekend February 12 - 14. The show featured
the vehicles of the "Munsters" and had a lot of fantastic looking cars,
trucks and motorcycles. This is the East Coast's Biggest & Largest
Indoor Rod & Custom Show. The show was once again held at the Showplace
Exibition Center at 3000 Mecahanicsville Turnpike, Richmond, VA. There
were plenty of vendors selling various parts, models, license plates and
more. The club is active members of the N.H.R.A., N.S.R.A., and Car Club
Council of Central Virginia - congrats for having another successful
show!
