Iola 2017 Car Show Honors Pony Cars

Iola 2017 Car Show & Swap Meet …

The Iola 2017 Car Show & Swap Meet is honoring Camaros, Firebirds and Pony Cars from the Trans Am Series. It is the 50-Year Anniversary of the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird. One of the big displays today included Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, Cougars and Mopar Pony Cars. As always, there were great cars and trucks from all eras represented as the 45th Annual Iola 2017 Car Show convened in little Iola, Wisconsin, July 6-8, 2017. Once a year this community puts on one of the top ten best car shows in the country. The giant swap meet is like no other in size and quality of parts. If you can’t find it here, it doesn’t exist.

While we were taking a break from searching the swap meet fields, we caught some of the excitement at the Pass In Review in the concours area. Here is some video of the Pass In Review:

The Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird are celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year. So the Iola 2017 Car Show decided to invite Camaro and Firebird owners to bring their cars for a special display. While they were at it they invited some of the top Pony cars that competed against them in the SCCA Trans Am series back in the day. Here is a slider of the cars we saw here today:

When you go to the Iola Car Show one of the areas to take in is the Blue Ribbon Concours. Here you will find cars which are on display by invitation only. Needless to say these are some of the finest in the country.

If the Iola Car Show is unfamiliar to you, you may want to put it on your bucket list. It is well worth the effort to experience this show at least once. Here are some of the stories from past shows we have attended in Iola, Wisconsin.
