As you can see, there are awards for designated manufacturers, plus there will also be additional awards like Farthest Away, the Kids' Choice Award, and Best in Show.

Plus, there will be door prizes and lots of them. Frankie Fulkerson says they've had enough donations for giveaways every fifteen minutes.

Last year, the car show had sixty-five entries, but Frankie says they're shooting for one hundred this year. But, he says the show could even top that. "People are telling me there will be two to three hundred." If you're interested in showing a car, the registration is just $20 per vehicle and proceeds benefit the Whitesville Lions Club. The club, by the way, will cooking hamburgers, hot dogs and serving lemon shakeups!

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
