Cincinnati, Ohio – The Queen City is known for a lot of things—and even a few that don’t involve chili and/or spaghetti. One of those non-chili things is the annual Cavalcade of Customs car show.
Part of the Summit Racing Show Car Series, the event draws in a fleet of top-tier show cars across a spectrum of the gearhead universe, from street rods to exotics, mud trucks to lowriders.
Needless to say, we have this one permanently circled on our calendar.
Our camera didn’t stop snapping until our memory card was crammed full of awesome car pics. Here are just a few of our favorites—and stay tuned, because we’ll have more from the 2023 show coming soon.

(Image/OnAllCylinders)This is a 1974 Camaro, which was the last year of the Z28 package before it returned in 1977. (Image/OnAllCylinders)We have never…ever, ever seen a James motorcycle before.

Paul is the editor of OnAllCylinders. When he's not writing, you'll probably find him fixing oil leaks in a Jeep CJ-5 or roof leaks in an old Corvette ragtop. Thanks to a penchant for vintage Honda motorcycles, he spends the rest of his time fiddling with carburetors and cleaning chain lube off his left pant leg.
