A few photos from the Wichita Nationals

Was there today. Very nice venue. Much more comfortable than sitting outside in 95 degree heat and 20 mph winds.

I don't see many spectators wandering around. Was the show available to the public?

The public was not allowed in until 4 pm. These photos were taken around noon. I don't know how much public ended up attending.

This is the only Nationals I have ever seen held at an inside venue. The venue is very impressive and so are the cars.

The 2012 Nationals in Des Moines was held indoors.

Another nice inside venue. Guessing most prefer an inside venue for a car show, but are the number of entrants greatly limited compared with an outside venue or are the cars displayed inside and outside? Is the swap meet area completely outside?

All cars were indoors. All swap meet vendors were indoors. Swap meet vendors were spread among several indoor spaces.

this was my first Oldsmobile Nationals as was it for my 15 year old son, it was a great venue and a great show, thank you to the clubs that put on the show, we definitely plan on supporting these more going forward, we drove 5 hours down and 5 back in the same day and it was completely worth it, thanks again St.Louis Archway chapter and also Oklahoma chapter I believe put this on.

Wichita was a great show. I myself don’t understand why the public couldn’t have attended during the day. The inside show was elongated through 3 sections of the building. There were never any issues with too many people in one area in fact most often it was just a handful of people wondering around. Great cars and the swap meet was awesome. I hauled a lot of stuff out of there. Most importantly it was great hanging with my fellow Oldsmobile friends throughout the week. Al
