Where's the diversity this year?

I hate to sound like a liberal affirmative action advocate-if that's possible regarding cars, but this years Hot August Nights festival has had no diversity. In years past you saw everything from 23 T-buckets, to '70s T/A's. This year, the cars all seem to be cookie-cutter of the same models. Let me explain. The casinos hosting the events usually line the cars up according to brand-i.e.- GM, Ford , Chrysler. In the GM sections all I've seen is Camaros and Chevelles. I've seen very few '55-57 Chevys, a few Novas, and a couple of '70's Vettes. No 60's Impala SS's, No Nomads, no '50's or '60's Vettes. The only Oldsmobile I've seen besides my own 442 was a 1967 Delta 88 convertible. The only Pontiacs I've seen are a few 1967-69 Firebirds and a couple of 65-66 GTOs. No 421 Catalinas or 2+2s, no Gran Prixs, No Judges, and maybe one or two '70's T/A's.  The Ford sections are all Mustangs. No 427 Galaxies or Thunderbolt Fairlanes, No T-Birds, no 429 Torinos, and just a few 67-70 Cougars.  Ditto for the Chrysler sections. All 68-70 Road Runners and Chargers. No Super Bees, no Hemi Belvederes, no Hemi or 413 Plymouth Savoys or Dodge 330s, no "Christine" Furys, no 50's 300s, no Hemi Darts. A few 70-71 Cudas and Challengers, and very few 340 Dusters. I haven't seen a single Javelin or AMX, or Hurst/Rambler, or Rebel Machine.  Maybe I was just in the wrong places at the wrong time, but I don't think so. Usually, even if you don't go to the "Show and Shines" you see rare and cool stuff driving around town. Not this year. Maybe because of the recession and high gas prices fewer people came out, and perhaps a lot of people didn't come from the midwest or back east-maybe all I'm seeing is local and West Coast-California, Oregon, Washington cars. I don't know, I'll have to get the final car count when it's over, but it sure as hell seems like a lot less cars came out this year. Hope that's a fluke, and we can rebound next year. Mastermind
