Did you happen to see the '69 convertible on the Baltimore Craigslist for $17,500? Seller says "excellent condition" looks like it's blue with a black top.

Ive been looking more local....up to 150 miles from where I live due to the fact that I HAVE to see the car in person before buying one. Baltimore is out of my range....

Thats why Im hoping Carlisle will provide a lot of cars all in one place for me to see.

As far as I know, only vendors are allowed on the grounds before the official start of 7AM Friday.

I was able to confirm....it will be open to everyone thursday morning this year. In the past it was only for vendors but this year they changed it.

I will probably be there Friday looking for a car...
