They are all over the place in the summer. Go to one car cruise and they will advertise several. Not this time of year though.

This is the event that you don't want to miss. Youngstown News, Steel Valley Super Nats, weekend cruise at Salem

It takes place every June. The entire city of Salem will be packed with hot rods, people, and vendors.

The drag strip will be loaded too.

I am thinking there's a hot rod club in Butler, PA, maybe? http://www.cruisintimes.org/cruisin/...lubs&Itemid=58 http://www.basmacarclub.com/ is the one that I was thinking of. But their car of the month looks more like just classic cars.

This is a summer time thing. This is not LA or Miami. There is no way I am bring out my 67' Stingray out in the winter even it it is a nice day. There is too much salt and other crap on the streets that just kill a paint job.

Yeah, it is not cool to drive classic cars in the winter. The salt will rust them out. I always kept the classics I owned garaged from about mid-November or December (when the roads were first salted, usually) until Spring.

The Greater Pittsburgh Area has an ENORMOUS antique/classic/hotrod scene.

Like somebody already mentioned, Car Cruises Online - Home is your ticket from May to October.
