Early A-Bodies

I really just started to notice that when I go to car shows, early A-bodies don't really get any respect! The people walking around stop and say, "nice paint" or "I like the wheels", but it isn't until I open the hood that I might get a "whoa" or similar comment. With the general lack of early A bodies at these car shows, it amazes me that there is no real respect for these cars in general. Sure there are a ton of later Darts and Dusters, and plenty of 67-69 Barracudas at the shows, but I have only seen 2 other early (63-66) A-bodies at any shows. And nobody noticed one of them until the owner opened his hood and displayed the Hemi inside! I'm thinking that these cars were so common back in the 60s and 70s with all the older people at the time driving around in these fairly cheap vehicles, that everyone that sees them now, just say "oh yeah, I had one of those back in my high school or college time. Does anybody else find the same thing I do, or am I just a little paranoid?
Let's face it, at an "All Makes" show, Mopars can be a niche vehicle. A bodies are a niche within the Mopar ranks. Early As are a niche within A body owners.
If you're looking for accolades at most shows, if you didn't bring a chromed-out Camaro you're likely to be disappointed.
I enjoy fewer comments, the ones I do get tend to be more sincere, honest and informed. After a while you get tired of all the "my Dad had one, but it had the 440 Hemi Six Pack in it" type comments. It's hard to be nice after a while.
Like said above, outside of shows I can't go anywhere without being approached by people with comments like "Nice car! How do you like driving a classic? Aren't you worried about having it on the road?" Real people, real comments. I enjoy that much more than posers at shows trying to prove how much they (don't) know.
