That looks like a nice show, for a couple of reasons. 1) 160 is a nice size -- I'm thinking of one annual show that I attend, as a spectator, that is huge. There might be 100 or more Model T's all lined up in a row and, let's face it, after you've seen a couple of Model T's, that's quite enough.... The show is so big that it detracts from the enjoyment, IMO. 2) A well chosen, smaller, lot of cars is fun -- the diversity makes for the show. On the form I saw you could even show a bicycle (if invited). And yes, if the rules, up front, say you can't show a replica, then you shouldn't be able to show a replica. I have, from time to time, seen "drive ons" in shows like these. Where somebody will actually "crash the party' with their uninvited car. It takes a special type of person to do that....
