    Fantastic pics!
    I know there's not much love for 70's era t-buckets on the HAMB, but I remember drooling all over this car at the Winnipeg World of Wheels in 1978 when I was 15 years old. Nice to see it still survives!

    Not sure what Obama has to do with this thread, but ok, yeah, I agree, let's all hope that. But first, let's all also be thankful that the asses that got us in this mess are out of a job. So, at least step one of getting the job done is complete.

    Back to the topic, thanks for posting the pics. Looks like it was a very nice show with some great cars.

    Thanks guys and if anyone else has pictures feel free to post.....I am hoping that KIRK goes home with a huge trophy the car is stunning. The Gambino paint in those lights is to die for.

    Coooool-Thanx. Blackie is having more and more health issues, putting on show is tough for him to do. He should get a big Thanx from all for stuff he has done for the
    car world.

    thanks for showing all the great shots. Lets hope the 50th is not the last for Blackie.

    The King T is owned by a guy here in the NW. At one time he owned the Tognotti coupe.
