I was supposed to be there but messed up my back securing stuff around the lakefront because of tornado/storm wind warnings and didn't make it.
P!ssed me off as I had registered back in October before the reunion was delayed because of a hurricane.
I gave my spot to a forum member and hope "the organizers" allowed him to use it...
I understand the show was sold out...weather was positively perfect...nasty and gusty today though.

I think the turnout was around 150 out of the 175 cars that were registered 13 out of 24 C2's, 6 C1's around 25 C3's and lots of later models. Original date was in early Oct. but a hurricane caused the date change great weather this time. My 63 Restomod coupe won the C2 class.

This show was the 30th annual show but the first in 5 years the previous owners stopped them. However RJ and new owners want to start them up again and this is their first time and they were just putting their toe in the water. They had small manufactures midway and a scratch and dent sale. There was a questionnaire for the participants asking what we would like to see at future events, the old shows had a car corral where I sold a car several shows back and venders. It was a well attended event in the past.
