Start your engines for Chrome in the Dome

If you love cars, Saturday was your day. The highly anticipated car show, “Chrome in the Dome” was at Holt Arena, which packed the parking lot full of its own cars.

The car show is very popular with a lot of people, it’s no wonder it keeps coming back every year. Imagine heaven with nothing but cars, a Jelly Belly on the right and a corn dog stand to the left. You’re all set.

“I’m a 68′ Camaro kind of guy. So there’s a lot of really nice ones here that I’m going to take home with me,” said Kevin Powell, who jokingly claimed, as he sat in the stands enjoying the scenery from above.

There was many shiny assortments of all kinds of cars and bikes, ranging from old to new. But the older classics had a special place in the heart that just never left.

“I’d really like for the kids to get away from all the new stuff and get back into the older classics, because that’s what I grew up seeing in car shows and what not. And i just really enjoy it,” said Powell.

“My favorite car is the one I own. It’s a 1933 dodge five window coup. It’s similar to ZZ Top’s. Oh man, come out and see these beautiful cars, there’s a lot of them,” said Jerry Aldous, a supporter for Outlaw Ed Jones’ Stage Coach. Which was also on display.

Aldous says he and Jones knew each other way back in the day when they raced bikes together up the street. Jones’ Stage Coach is famously known for spitting fire and popping wheelies at the Motor Speedway in Las Vegas and other cities.

There were many other people who brought their four wheels of love today to show off and tell their stories.

Admission was just $5 and kids under 12 were free. The show was a fundraising effort toward “Skills USA Automotive,” a student organization in the College of Technology at ISU.
