Thanks for posting. I get to town from time to time on bidness and will try to catch it. Looks like a great show.

 

So I met up with the SFCC folks for breakfast and then headed down to the event.

People were there like ants at a picnic.

The cars were very cool tho' and lit up like sculptures.

I think I'd like to go back in the morning sometime to check 'em out again, with less people there.

Thanks to GreenMtnBoy for organizing the meet up today.

It is a great exhibit!!!Cool automobiles!!!!!

I t would be better to catch it during the week, though...........

 

Why is that, stealthcruiser (crowds)?

 

Yes, the crowds................They said that they allowed 100 people at the time in, and it's a kind of tight venue, for 18-20 automobiles, their displays, and 100 bodies, plus children!!!!!

It is still quite enjoyable!!!!!

 

Awesome show...kinda like an indoor Pebble Beach or Amelia Island Concourse, I think most of the cars were previous winners of one or the other.
It was a little crowded but not any worse than any indoor car show(World of Wheels etc...). I might go back just to soak it all in again and do the Audio Tour with the headphones just to get the full experience.
Oh yea, you may want to look for alternate parking or take MARTA, the museum parking garage is $12.00

slefain - that Packard you posted a picture of above.... I think that was my favorite care there.

I liked the others, but that and the 1937 Delage were the ones I kept going back to check out.

-W-

That Delage was bad ***!!!!!!!!!

 

So... for those of you that were taking pictures(I saw you, so don't try to hide)... could you share with the rest of the cl***?

Hey, a small group of us from NJ might be coming down to see the exhibit....any recommendations on where to stay, or eat, or drink (good beer?????)

 

Taco Mac...

I went for the first time Saturday after the museum, they have one of the largest selections I have ever seen at a restaurant, and the food isn't too bad either.

 

Stevie G, Brad54, etc

Spring break's around the corner- is there a weekday that you want to plan to go down?

 

I'll second the Taco Mac................Ate, ( and drank) there Saturday evening, before catching the Hendrix Experience, at the Fox.................Good food, EXCELLENT beer choices..................Try the "Hopsicle", if you like a "hoppy" brew....

 

I just got back from Atlanta and went to the exhibit here's a few pictures I took.

The 1933 Pierce Silver Arrow



The 1937 Dubbonet Hispano-Suiza H-6C "Xenia"
