Default Small but interesting car show

Hello all a small car show designed originally for mostly older cars ( pre WWII) that they opened up to newer models. The MC, GTJOE went through the years starting from the model T and discussed the evolution of the car. Very Knowledgeable individual!!!

Some Corvettes made a showing, a 1954 to the right, my 1972 in the middle and a 1967 to the left. A nice group of generations. The house behind the cars dates from 1660s, give or take a few years!!!


My turn on the red carpet for a review.


Well thats all folks!!! Ike

Thanks for all the compliments!!!! Yeah it was well done. For example Joe put the 1954 Vette and the 1957 T Bird back to back and compared their features both good and bad. At that point a T Bird was still a sports car but you could see it start to diverge to a more luxurious vs. a sporty car like the Vette that seemed to go the other direction, a more racing machine, at least for a few more years. Ike.

That's a really nice setting. It also looks like a laid back event. That's a win win in my eyes. On top of that some interesting cars.
