Great pics, thank for posting!!

 

thanks for the front shot of the white 32

 

Great shots! Thanks.

 

Great pics, thanks for sharing!

 

that car/owner live right down the road from me. i remember seeing it in his basement storage a few years ago and heard the story , but don't clearly recall it. i think he said it was originally built for a good friend of his, his buddy died and he bought it from the estate, and would ever sale it. charlie has some other nice rides as well.

next time i see him ill get a refresher on the history on that car.

 

Nice pics , would like to go someday !

 

Cool pictures, thanks a lot for posting them!

I really like the styles of cars you picked to take pictures of. I have the same tastes, too.

The first 2 pictures you posted ('32 black 5-window coupes) are stunning. The second one just became my new screen saver. Thanks!

Happy Fathers Day, you guys!

 

thanks for the great pics, didn't make it this year!

 

It was great meeting you and the caravan of 3, I stopped back by a few times when I came back to the car but you were walking around too.

 

I overheard a show goer tell his @10 year old son as they were looking at a custom: "Hey, look. The same guy that pinstriped this car, pinstriped your Grandpa's coffin."

There are (4) pages of 60 Images in slide show format beginning here:

Here's a few:

 

X2 , that is fat , nailed it !!

 

The tuner lug nuts on the front wheels & the chrome wishbones.. This thing is unbelievable. I wonder if Alan Johnson, built this one also?

 

Thats a friend of mine car! Alan Johnson just finished it! its from Mobile, Alabama!! its the real deal, all steel!! NO KIT CAR HERE!!!!

 

Here are my pictures. Not many. Seeing Baskerville's beater there always brings a smile to my face, after hearing the many stories of his editorial exploits from his old cohort Steve Magnante.

Thanks for all the extra pics, peoples! Next year will be a 2day event for me! Too much to see in one day, that's soo cool!

cool pics

 

here is some video: http://www.youtube.com/user/PrimerPodcast?feature=mhee#p/u/12/p6R-hVpKM44

might be a little long towards the end, but a lot of roadsters were at the show

 

Thanks, great meeting you as well. Certainly left my share of shoe leather on the tarmac!

Yeah, but they wouldn't have sold nearly as many over here with a name like that. "Thames" sounds foreign and exotic, like the Amazon. Mei oui! Je t'aime mon Thames!
