WILDWOOD, FL (352today.com) – When Easter’s over and the basketsful of colorful eggs are gone, something even bigger and brighter comes to town: 75 Chrome Shop’s 27th Annual Truck Show. Big, colorful, trucks with plenty of chrome will be on display Friday, April 25, and Saturday, April 26. The event is free to attend and open to the public, drawing truck enthusiasts and families from across the country.
Festivities begin Friday morning and continue into the evening, highlighted by a live DJ, vendor booths, and a light show after dark. Saturday’s schedule runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and includes more entertainment, food vendors, and you can vote for the People’s Choice Award. The big win for competitors, though, is the “Prime Shine” trophy.






Get ready to explore hundreds of show trucks, check out accessories in-store for pickups, motorcycles, and golf carts, and get your foodie-fix with a variety of options. This annual event gives you the chance to learn about the latest trends in truck technology, detailing, lighting… plus, the trucks are just downright cool.
“This event brings people from all around the United States and even some from other countries,” says show manager Kerri Farkus. “Count on being speechless and amazed at the beautiful trucks and ideas that these competitors have created.”






The final day of the show, Sunday, April 27, opens to the public at 8 a.m. and wraps up with an awards ceremony at noon, where contestants will be recognized for their rigs and hard work. It’s also a chance for attendees to wish them well and say goodbye before the trucks begin rolling out around midday.
So, get ready for big rigs, pickups, golf carts, and motorcycles at 75 Chrome Shop’s 27th Annual Truck Show, located off I-75 at Exit 329 in Wildwood. For more information, visit 75chromeshop.com.
