Chilly Weather Didn't Hold This Show Back

The largest car and truck show held in northwest Florida had to contend with a surprisingly cold Mother Nature, as the temps were in the 50s. Despite the colder-than-normal weather, thousands of people made the trip to Panama City where they checked out hundreds of custom trucks and cars. Sponsored by Toyota Trucks and LMC Truck, Spring Fling wasn't lacking big names. A hit of the show, the bikini contest brought out the lovely ladies, while stunt motorcycle exhibits were going on, and the award ceremony saw deserving truck owners and builders receive the hardware. Several cool under-construction rides showed up and we can't wait to see these trucks when they are finished. For more pics online, go to truckinweb.com.
