Get ready for hot rides and cool cars at the Bluegrass World of Wheels

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Custom cars return to the Kentucky Exposition Center.

WDRB's Keith Kaiser got a preview of the Bluegrass World of Wheels Custom Car Show.

Bluegrass World of Wheels Custom Car Show returns Saturday, April 18 and continues through Sunday, April 19.

Normally it happens in the winter, but a snow storm bumped the show to the spring.

Local car owners banded together to fill the void left behind by the Carl Casper Custom Car Show after it ended its 55-year run.

Sanctioned by the International Show Car Association, the event features many of the nation’s top custom creations competing to earn points for the ISCA Championship and the Bourbon Barrel Select trophy.

The North Wing is filled with more than 400 exhibits of custom, race and classic cars as well as street rods, street machines, motorcycles and commercial vendors.

Admission at the door is $21 for adults, $7 for children (ages 6-12), and free for children five and under.

Discounted advance tickets are available at participating O’Reilly Auto Parts stores and cost $17 for adults and $5 for children (ages 6-12).
