That sounds like a good day of Fun...

I believe the weather is suppose to be nice this weekend..

Maybe I can get out and see it..

Anyone want to meet up for the event??

 

Hi Don,

It does sound like fun... I'll talk to Patti. A few of the Ranger guys I used to hang out with are from Leominster. Maybe I can get them to go too!

 

Well it was a pretty exciting day at the car show today..

Thanks Fords8 for posting this... Maybe we can make it a chapter GTG event next year..

It was nice that we got to meet Jim and his wife Patti.. To bad we couldn't spend more time chatting..

I really liked the event.. Many trucks to be seen and a few strange vehicles to boot.

I will post the pictures later

 

Here are the photos of the day, Enjoy...

Here are some of the weird ones, but nice..

Not sure it came from the factory like that..



A Hillman



What the heck is it???



This is how far we had to park.



All the rest of the cars that came from far and wide.. Some from California and Nevada..

 

Great pics Don...thanks for sharing!!! Looks like the weather was great...I really loved the picture of the Edsel!!!

 

Here are the rest..

 

The final batch of pictures...

 

Yeah, Don's right - it was a great show! More cars and trucks than I expected to see. It was nice meeting Don's 3 generations too! I got a few shots also - forgive me that some of the shots are duplicates of Don's, just different angles. It would make a nice GTG for the group next year!


Now that's a STANCE!

Studebaker...





Can't you just picture this one with a "STILL" in the back?


Yeah, it's a 4X4... nicely done!

Yeah, I know - I am a Ford guy, but I always liked this year Chevy/GMC!



Who says "Harley Edition" has only been available recently?

 

Nice pics Jim..

I see most of the people started leaving about noon..

I was beat by then and got a sunburn...

I was able to pick up the shop manuals for my truck.. The 06 Super Duty manuals, but the guy didn't have the wiring diagrams so I got the other 2 for $60..

 

Glad to see you guys had a great time..Nice pic's Don and Jim..

 

Blue Ford pickup off to the right (1st truck on the right) in this pic is what I drove to get there.

EDIT: Glad you enjoyed it! This event is good most years.

 

To bad we didn't meet up... Looks like we were so close...

There's always necks time..
