Crowded car shows tend to have at least two things working against the photographer trying to make images. Those two things are lots of people, and bright overhead sunlight.An overcast day generally solves those problems. So, what do you do when it's not overcast?
What I do, and believe me this often takes patience, is walk around the car until you find a composition that seems compelling and not filled with specular highlights.
This often means photographing the side of the car in open shade, or just coming back to the car you want to shoot a little later, when the sun has changed position in the sky.
As for all of the people who will no doubt not see you and walking through your shots, practice and patience my friend. You will have to get used to that and learn to be aware of the crowd's movements. Remember, people can help or hurt your image, it all depends on what you're after.
