There were hundreds of cars there. I took tons of pics. I've re-sized and labelled fifty pics so far. There will be more to come. Until then click the link to see the pics I've got up so far.

Lou,

I appreciate the time that you have taken toshoot & load all these great pictures.

I know how long it can take.

They are amazing.

I love the 32 Ford below, and it`s strange not to see a small block Chevy in it : )

I think if they produced it today, it would sell in volumes.

I love old cars, and appreciate the work that owners do to keep them in showroom

condition.

I also like the below 1931 Buick Roadster - WoW - Go GM [:-]

Over 75 years old, and still looks like new

I wish I could have been there in person : )

I can`t wait to show my grandfather your pictures.

Again, thanks for taking the time to post and share.

Is the rear trunk seat called a `Rumble Seat ?

Look forward to the rest of your pictures 4-Sure

Thanks, you took some great pictures.

My favorite would have to be the sunliner. I would love it even more if itwas the skyliner option but the convertable is nice too.
So whats with all the slowpars? No chevy muscle cars there?

RE: Willistead Classic Auto Show

There were some classic Chevy's there. Chevelle, GTO, Corvette, etc. They'll be in the next batch. Sorry, no Monte's. I was hoping there would be some Monte's from gens 1 to 4 at least. But alas my hopes were dashed!

I took over 200 pics. I'm going through the pics and weeding out theones that don't need to be put up. I had to take a picture of the description card for each car I took a picture of. If I hadn't, I'd never remember everything.

I was disappointed that there wasn't more Chevy's then there were. But this year they were featuring the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Viper. I didn't take any pics of the Vipers. They were all 100% stock anyway. No customizing at all on any of them.

That Auto Show stipulates that all cars must be unmodified, unless it is entered into the modified category. Restored is obviously perfectly okay, considering most of these cars are 70 to 100 years old.

The show was only one day this year, and it was only from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Don't know why. It was hugely successful. In the past it was always saturday and sunday 9:00am to 6:00pm. I got there shortly after it opened at 10:00. About an hour later, I noticed that I had only gotten about a quarter of the way through. It was beginning to get hot too. So I picked up the pace and started picking and choosing the cars I took pics of.

I brought my 2 gig memory card with me and it was filling up fast. It looked like there was about 300 cars and trucks there. I was taking multiple pics of everything at first. Should've brought my 4 gig card with me. Oh well. Now I know for next year. Just glad I'm not using a film camera anymore. LOL.

Space, got a pic or two of a Lambo I think you'll like.

RE: Willistead Classic Auto Show

Again Moderator `Taz, thank you for sharing all your super

photo`s of some great automobiles of the past.

This morning is starting `off great.

When I returned from work this morning, I was greeted

by my grandfather who had breakfast waiting : )

Steak & Eggs,Toast,Home Fries, and O.J. WoW

(I have not had a home cooked meal since my g/f

went away for nurses training: )

I love my grandfather.

When I logged onto the MCF to check in I found your

latest picture post, and my grand/f & I both checked them `out.

I think he enjoyed the pic`s more then I.

He had a 1941Packard like the one below, his was Black.

He told me to post a special thanks to you : )

Thanks 4 Sure

[:-]

I went to take a shower, and when I returned my grandfather
