Default Pics from NCM trip

I was finally able to get all the pics uploaded from the trip of picking up our 72 Bryar Blue LS-5 coupe that has been on display at the NCM over the past 2 years. My dad and I spent 2.5 days, and drove 1,200 miles round trip. It was a blast!

Here's a pic of dad in front of his 72'. The lighting is dark in the exhibit area, so a bunch of other pics didn't come out that great.



Just after closing, the staff members got the car out of the St. Louis display area, then drove it right out of the museum. I was able to get a great mpg video of it going thru the display area and right out the back loading dock.

Here's one of us together once we got the car outside, just before loading it up.


Pretty cool pic in front of the NCM:


Loaded up and ready for the ride back home:


Back home in the garage (back right). This pic didn't turn out that great with the reflection thru the glass.


Another pic showing her new home:


And then just her...


It was a great trip and everyone at the NCM is first class! Thank you again to everyone for checking out the pics and providing feedback on seeing the car.

Thanks,
Rob Harper
