It says that your location is California, but I'm not sure exactly where.

So, if you are in LA like me, I would suggest something like what these ladies are wearing at the link below. It's been hot here, so definitely something summery and cheery. Not only will you be happy, but you will stay cool too. :)

If you're up north like in San Francisco, where it tends to be cooler, I would say maybe a tailored suit and hat.

And here are some of these fun looking joy riders! :D

If you want to get creative though, I think what you can do is pick out your favorite car and get some inspiration from that. Colors, design lines, Etc. :)

Well, personally I look to Fleur de Guerre whenever I need a little inspiration. She really is spot on with all her looks, casual as well as glamorous. You can look around her blog for some ideas http://www.diaryofavintagegirl.com

Here are some that would work well for a car show-

I certainly hope she doesn't mind me posting these :eek:hwell:

Another thing I would strongly recommend is wearing comfortable shoes. No point wearing sexy 4 inch heels if they're just going to kill your feet after an hour of walking around.
