    I have been to this many times, but the listing in Old Cars Weekly says it starts at 4:00pm? It was always an early AM deal and then we stayed and drank for a few hours....

    Do you have a website with details?

    I got a flyer for it at Gears and Ears, the 4 PM time is the cruise night. Registration for the regular show runs from 8-noon with awards at 3:30. I don't see a website listed...

    I'll be there with my Pontiac since it's right up the street from me. Look for the "patriotic" p***enger door! It's Red (old paint), white (bondo), and blue (newer paint)! I ripped off the old patch panel and haven't gotten to fixing it yet...

    I heading there this year. Sycamore was HOT last year and it actually fills the whole down town area. Didn't we have a HAMB meet and greet last year too? Anyone up for one this year? Oh and you need to get there super early if you want to park on the main drag.
