Mecum Indy 2015; who's going?

[bashton]

I know I am looking forward to this one, as there are always some great cars crossing the block and it is a great place to meet up with old friends and meet new ones.

MCACN will have a display again to talk about what's happening at this years show, and I will be accepting apps for cars and automotive (only) vendors.

I know that several members have some great cars being offered, so tell us...what are you selling or looking to buy?

Me and Stowers will be there as usual. Looking forward to hooking up with you.

[mrays]

I'll be there Friday and Saturday. I haven't missed one yet. I'll try to take a few photos for those of you who can't make it.

[Charley Lillard]

I'll be there somewhere..

[bergy]

I'll be there - next to the Hemi GTX

Bob If you get a chance, please stop by Greg Godon's 69 Crimson 442 Post, on display at Indy. His Lot # is S66.
https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/SC0515-213458/0/1969-Oldsmobile-442/Automatic/
In case you don't know him, he's been racing and restoring Oldsmobile's for quite a while. You'll get to see his workmanship.

I'll look you up on Friday afternoon or Saturday. Enjoy the auction.

Bob A., here's his car on-site.

[Postsedan]

Hey Greg,

Are you allowing under hood autographs like the car next to you <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Dan

[Bob_D]

Someone had a bad day at Mecum Indy. We pulled up to load Greg's car back in the trailer, and this unfolded just then. Flames and smoke started pouring out of this Reliable Carriers Rig. Looks to be a 57 Corvette. There was another Corvette in there along with a 57 Chevy. Sad.

[Postsedan]

Yep, I saw that.....glad no one was hurt. The cars will be repaired <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Dan

[Bob_D]

Two more we took.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Yikes, glad no-one was hurt

Ryan

[Wakepowell]

Any word on what happened? I heard about the incident at dinner after the auction. The guys I was with said the '64 Big Tank car also burned. Not sure if that is accurate.

[Bob_D]

I saw what looked like a red mid-year Corvette, side pipe car on the upper level. And a two tone 57 Chevy white over Dusk Pearl (pink) on lower level.

[Day2_69Z]

Anybody know what cars were involved and the extent of damage ?

[Verne_Frantz]

Don't they disconnect the batteries once the cars are loaded????

Verne <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Unless the owner instructs them to they don't mess with customers cars. As it should be.

[njsteve]

I haven't seen any mention of the fire anywhere but here. Is there any more info out there?

Verne <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif </div></div>

I'm guessing a fuel related issue.. stuck needle, float, back fire , leak. ???? Something of that nature

Steve. I googled Mecum, fire, Reliable, Corvettes. Numerous times to find nothing

As we were leaving they had the 57 Corvette pulled further out of the trailer and it looked like the most &quot;charred&quot; area was at the cowl. I concluded it may have been electrical, under dash.

[Charley Lillard]

I'm told it was electrical and it had just been purchased. That would suck.

[Bob_D]

I think this may be the car.
