10 reasons to attend this weekend's Starbird-Devlin car show - Kansas.com
Wichita has lots of car shows each year. But one of the biggest and longest-running happens every January and fills Century II – all of Century II – with hundreds of hot rods, muscle cars and restored vintage vehicles from around the country. Here’s a list of 10 reasons you might want to check out this weekend’s 58th annual Starbird-Devlin Rod & Customs Charities Car Show, which runs Friday through Sunday. Cars, cars and more cars: This year’s show will be filled with 380 cars, many of which have traveled from a 200 mile radius and some that have come from as far away as California, Detroit and Minnesota. “You can’t hardly believe what you’re going to see until you come and see it,” said John Fry, a board member and one of the promoters of the show. The “Magnificent Seven:” The highlight of the show is the unveiling of “The Magnificent Seven,” which judges deem the best, most exciting cars that have never before been shown in Wichita. Magnificent Seven finalists often are cars that are valued in the millions. It’s all for charity: In 2011, a group called Cars for Charities Co. , made up of father and son Tom and Tim Devlin, Dick Price and brothers Carl and John Fry, bought the show from longtime owner Darryl Starbird.
