Little Big Show

Wilson Creek’s annual car show brings vehicles of all vintages

WILSON CREEK — Sometimes, a car owner just can’t help himself. “Originally I bought it because I needed a commuter,” said Ricky Gutierrez, who was showing his 2019 Subaru at the Little Big Show in Wilson Creek Saturday morning. “I work for the county, and I drive everywhere, so I needed something better on gas mileage.” That didn’t last long, he said. “I grew up modifying cars, so I was like, I’ll add wheels, and then suspension,” Gutierrez said. “And then I (thought) it wasn’t fast enough, so I made more horsepower out of it, and kind of decided to do it into a show car. Full air ride, suspension, the carbon fiber hood, the trunk, the seats inside, and just the little details that add up a lot.”
