2010 NSRA Street Rod Nationals

The 41st Annual Street Rod Nationals rolled into Louisville, Kentucky this past weekend. Previously only vehicles made in 1949 or earlier were only able to enter the show. This year the Street Rod Nationals added vehicles from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s to the show. There were over 10,000 street rods on display this year.
