    Wow, I'll be there right at 10am.. I can't wait...

    That Dick Fowler coupe is so much nicer. Not to take anything away from the car at the show, but damn.. Just straight up, the old guys without the influences of television, aerodynamics and precise measurements just had a better eye for cars and how to make them look.. Just my 2 cents..

    Thanks for all the great Pictures from the show . Looks to be one of the shows that should be on a bucket list to see . Really tons of talent to be seen there as well . Wish we had a show like that over here in the East Coast !

    Man, i dont know if i could truely handle seeing all them cars in person....its overwhelming to say the least...Its def. going to be one of the best shows ever put on and def one for the history books. Thanks for sharing!
     
  16. Did anyone get a chance to talk to Rikster......he was supposed to be
    there? Any photo of his smiling face? He certainly is a wealth of
    information on these neat old cars.

    Bob K may actually look better upside down.:D

    Thanks for the pics gentlemen. Keep em coming.

    I think I have eye herpes after looking at this one! My 11 year old son walked away and didn't want to look at it. I could not stop laughing!

    well, the home front will be very (very!!) happy with a picture of a smiling Rikster (a non-smiling one is fine too :)

    Thanks guys, it's only a fraction of the cool stuff there. I kinda hoped everyone would post their pictures on one thread, guess it didn't work out that way.

    Usually doesn't happen that way.

    I appreciate you taking the photos and posting them here for all of us to see. I've been looking for a photo of the custom Merlick convertible that a friend built. They were supposed to be showing it for the first time at this show.
