Nice pictures! Doesn't look like the price of gas has slowed this party down much.

Hey, Steve,

Edit your post and throw a few carriage returns in on some of those pictures. A few got stuck together and are about three pictures wide.


There are more pictures posted in the Regional Topics.

It was a good time over there. Hope you didn't get too wet.

I heard that (rumor maybe) Mid america may have been bought or is perhaps moving to the Indianapolis area? That would be great for me.I don`t know what a carrage return is? I am a C3 owner, But I Love the late 50s and mid years.

Fantastic. Think my favorite was the Blue/Silver 68. Thats some wide meats on that one.

Was it just your camera or was it on the verge of rain?

Great set of pics. This is another one of those shows that I would like to attend one of these days. Thanks for posting the pics.


Could you tell if attendance was the same as it has been in years past? Just curious as I went to a show down here in Florida and they were telling me that the show is smaller than usual and the weather was better.
