Snip!
I think a mixing of the models, accomplished easily by simply letting cars line up as they arrive, would act to 'clean the palate<sp?>' between similar cars. And it would foster more connection between owners of vastly different models by placing them in close proximity, and visitors that might only know about certain, well-poublicized models would see different ideas on their way between their 'known' models, rather than congregating around the ones they know best.
A kind of 'forced-intergration' (that'll go over big, using that term!) would get folks moving past all the cars, not able to avoid the 'less-bally-hoo'd' models, or dismissing them because they aren't 'with the big dogs'.
I know, I know, not everybody is a 'classist'- I'm not suggesting that. I am saying that, being at several shows, I've seen large disparities between the foot traffic thru the Hurst cars section and the Matador and Ambassador areas. I'm certain it can be discouraging for some of these owners. If the cars were properly blended, foot traffic would equalize all over the field, and such 'less-known' cars would get a few more glances, questions and comments. Certainly, the 'top dog' cars would only flourish by comparison with a stripped 4-door sedan on one side and a beige wagon on the other. Yet, those other two cars might get some more kudos, too.
Beyond easier judging, there may be other solid reasons for keeping them grouped that I'm not seeing. Feel free to educate me. :)
Anyway, just spitballin'.
