Default OT - Keels and Wheels, Seabrook 5-5-2012

Greetings,
Today I attended the 17th annual Keels and Wheels Boat and Car show in Seabrook Texas. http://www.keels-wheels.com/

Consisting of a Concours D' Elegance for high end cars and boats, plus an auction, this show is one I consider to be the "Pebble Beach of the South".

After driving all the way across Houston from Cars and Coffee, we bagan taking photos around 11 am. Sadly again, I failed to cross paths with Rayvaflav, I hope he enjoyed the show..

A full slideshow of about 110 photos is here

A sampling follows:

Early cars:




Hupmobile


Brush


Sears Robuck


"My Classic Car" host Dennis Gauge talking to a representative from the Peterson Automotive Museum about this beautiful Delahaye


THE original "little deuce coupe" from the Beach Boys' album cover


Steve Newsom's 55


This car has a checkered past


Boss 429


Factory "Swiss Cheese" Pontiac drag car


Boats, Cars (Keels/Wheels)

Wow, what a show! The cars were incredible, but the boats got my attention. I would have been like a little kid at that show, thanks for sharing.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the pictures. It's a wonderful show.

I feel bad I couldn't get in touch with Rayvaflav while I was there, but I heard from another forum member that he and his buddy enjoyed the show.

Paul that would be great. In fact, maybe next year I'll try to actually organize some sort of forum get together, and a group visit to the event.
