Default Car Show - Wilmington DE

I attended a car show today at the Hagely Museum in Wilmington, DE. I've been going to the show every year since it's inception 21 years ago. All cars must be at least 25 years old to participate in the show. The show has just about everything from brass ears cars to Stanley Steemers to some fantastic muscle cars. It's probably the 10th tenth time I've attended with my 72 since purchasing it 11 years ago. There were approximately 600 cars on display and only about 8 C3's. You can see a silver 82 just behind my car through the windshield and just over top of that car a 1956 Cascade Green (Turquoise) Corvette.

Your '72 should take first place of show - it is beautiful. Love that color combo

Nothing beats an outdoor car show - looks like it was a great turn-out along with good weather and wicked looking cars. Thanks for posting pics

Love the green Challenger. What's up with the dune buggy and the shark? Funny!

OK, you had to ask, ha ha. The dune buggy is a vintage Manx. The Manx was the original fiberglass dune buggy kit produced from the mid 60's to the early 70's. Not sure about this "gone wild" version but almost everyone stopped to take a look at all the stuff he added to the dune buggy.
