Enjoyed the pictures, thanks for sharing. Back in the 70's I used to have a 1968 Jaguar XKE, just like the red one shown in two of the pictures, except mine was Primrose Yellow. I sold mine with 36,000 miles and in showroom condition. In hindsight that was one car that I wish I would have hung onto!

Very nice, love the old Chevy trucks and the '48 black Ford Monarch (think that is what it is) little before my time but still. Thanks for the time and effort you made. Greetings, Rob

What a great assortment of beautiful cars! I've always been partial to the '57 Chevy, and the two pictured really brought back fond memories. Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures.

I had my black 04 Convertible there yesterday. Pics must have been taken before I got there. Cool Cruisers always do a good job.

You're welcome everyone. The weather was perfect Jack. Soon it will get hot. Pretty good turn out considering most of the snow birds have left for now. I added several more pictures.
Thanks!

Mike

Just a slight correction. No such thing as an XKE. They are E Type. Tons of people make the mistake. Even a guy who specializes in brokering older collectible cars says XKE in his promotional material.

The XKE error is because the models before the E Type were the XK 120, XK 140 and XK 150. Then came the E Type. People automatically called it the XKE. But it is an E Type.

My very first car at 19 was a 1964 E Type. Paid $1200 for it in 1973. Should have kept it. Should have kept my 1970 911S that I paid $2500 for in 1977. Oh well.
