Oh that's a bank. For some reason I assumed it was a nursing home.

I hope that C7 looks as good as your C4 in 30+ years. Not much challenge in buying new.

Not sure how it is in other parts of the Country, but welcome to pretty much any car show in FL. Once saw an elderly couple pop out of a yellow mustang gt with matching yellow jump suits and their names printed on the back. Their little yorkie or whatever those yap dogs are had a matching yellow shirt on as well. Good stuff.


OP-Great looking car!

No, the show was pretty thin this weekend because I think a lot of people were scared off due to possible bad weather.

The 2nd lot on the other side of the tracks didn't even need to open.

Thanks, I know right? I thought it would be busy as it was their 19th Anniversary of the show or something to that effect... but yeah, I think people were scared of the weather that never happened... between the wind and big storm clouds passing by... but it ended up pretty nice.

My favorite car of the show was this restomod Camaro.

Nice car, OP!!! It's nice to see C4s at the shows. My wife and I had ours at a show in Savannah this weekend. 250+ cars and we had the only C4! Sad.
