I have a similar experiance:

Every yr, I usually go to both car shows at the Daytona Speedway.  In the 
spring, the Florida AMC car clubs band together and we have prime parking in 
the middle.  But in the fall (which is the bigger show), parking is "pot 
luck" as I don't have a group to go with, so just have to find a spot among 
the masses of cars.

A couple of yrs ago I went in and found a spot next to this high dollar '32 
Ford Coupe with a blown BBC.  Lots of chrome and polish, he had to have 
somewhere around $100K into this thing.  I parked next to him in my '69 
Rambler (American) that is nice, but certainly not in that league.  I said 
"Hi" to him, but he was kinda looking down at me and my car, no big deal.

Through the course of the day, I had as many, if not more, folks that came 
by and look at the Rambler as he did for his car.  Lots of old Rambler 
stories with all asking if the seats folded down (they don't).  The coupe 
guy was kinda miffed; I don't think he understood!

Of course, anyone that will stuff a Cheby motor in a non-Cheby product has a 
basic difference in attitude that I do to start with...
