The show really went well. Lots of cars, and lots of vendors. The band was great, too. There was even an unplanned flyover of 4 Stearman biplanes, at about 3pm.



The video footage is generic from YouTube.

 

Had a great time there. Found a few bargains at the swap.Very COOL show. Heard lots about it so gave it a shot. Next year I'll bring the '51. I liked the swap meet the way it surrounded the car displayed in the show. Friendly workers at the front gate..... GREAT job Tin Butchers,keep it up !

 

need pics!!

 

I got there around 12:30 or so, and the show was still pretty strong. I liked how they had the swap vendors setup around the car show area so you could wander between the two. I was also surprised at how good the swap meet was. There really wasn't that much crap out there.
Here are some pics

 

..the blue Model A coupe above won our only trophy, given out as a memorial to one of our club members whom we lost in a car accident a few years ago....very nice coupe!
