Default Mecum LA [PICS...added pics from Day 2!]

For those of you who enjoy the photos, here some pics I took at Mecum LA today. Interesting event, as it’s not terribly big or high end, but I’m seeing some oddball interesting cars I rarely see. Of course I’ll start with the mandatory Corvettes (not a bunch of Corvettes):

Mecum calls it Mecum LA like they call the Shaumberg show “Mecum Chicago.”

Great pictures VB. Thanks for taking the time to post them. Are the wheel openings on that red C2 coupe modified? It sure looks like something is going on out of the ordinary there.

Good eye 3J. I took that picture because I was sitting on the end of the front when that car rolled off and I saw the wild body/shadow line on that car. I took he pic to get a better look. The car was not a custom if I remember correctly.

It looks stock except the body line just above the wheel opening which usually photographs as a straight line but for what ever reason not in this case.

Its not just above the wheel opening, though... the line, which usually looks like a straight line tail to nose, actually starts traveling upward right from the start at the backside of both body panels, almost diagonally.

Were any of the C2s there complete with K19 A.I.R.?? You gotta figure if any of the auctions would have some it would be this one...
