At many car shows you have to have a fire extinguisher. My Father and I both have them in all our old cars and I usually carry one in my DD. It never hurts to be prepared

I never really thought about fire extinguishers until I saw a 1971 Chevelle go up in flames.

To me, it seemed like a wise decision, especially with older carburated vehicles, that clearly aren't getting any newer. Seals dry out, gas may leak, exhaust manifolds get hot. There are many reasons!

I picked up a couple at Wally World and always have them right within reach below the driver's seat.

We used to go to a show all the time that required you have a fire extinguisher to get in and have it visible on your drivers floor.
We rarely go through the judging process but I know many shows won't judge your car if you don't have one too.

The only car I ever saw go up in flames was at a show, but in the parking lot. It was a late 70's Camaro that was parked in kind of tall grass and I think the catalytic converter was hot enough to start the dry grass on fire. It goes quicker than you think. That was the point I started keeping one in my dd

Hi Nick,
Great pics, I couldn't make it this year but I sent one of my customer's cars the Black Road Runner, the one with the fire extinguisher next to the tire ( do you have more pics?) ; we won the "Best Of his Class"
