Hi folks,
Thought I'd share some shots of last weekend I grabbed with the iPhone. The six of us gathered just for fun at a local grille here in Mass. We had a 56, 57, two 60's, a 61 and a 62.

Nice! Your Black Silver '61 is gorgeous. As are all of them. Nice lineup.

Wow, and a Copper '56 AND a Copper '57. Rare colors. Too bad Roy(1955Copper) couldn't have joined you...a bit of a hike from California.

Thanks, and yes, I wanted to have the first iteration of solid axles present, but haven't run across any here. For that matter, we could have used a 58 and 59 as well just to complete the set. Nonetheless, it was a great site and a pleasant surprise to many onlookers; it was unannounced and eventually drew people from the surrounding area.

Beautiful!

Here was 62, 61, 61 at the Plastic Fantastic show this spring. There were probably 25 C1s total there, but we didn't all get to park together.

We were over an hour Northwest of Boston; I thought it would be too long a drive from Cape Cod for such a small event. I'll PM you when we meet again.

It was a nice informal gathering without any build up, judging or show fanfare; Just a friendly C1 cruise in. Even the management didn't know we were coming (but asked that we return again). I'll try it again next year (there were several who couldn't attend).

Nice shots of the Plactic Fantastic show.
