Russo and Steele Day at Pavilions at Talking Stick

[Xplantdad]

The pre-auction festivities have started in Scottsdale. Today was Russo and Steele day-and Drew, Ty and the crew were impressive as they always are.

Drew was giving away free passes to the auction for those folks who knew the answers to his automobile trivia questions. With Russo and Steele, it's always a good time!

The whole normal crew was out and in good spirits today including Toby Shine, Ellen and Rich, Bob A, Shaun, Paul, Mike G., Wayne, Chris P., Lynn....and the list goes on....

Ike and his wife drove in from Wisconsin to enjoy the festivities, too!

We are still missing two of the good guys...Lee and John Ward. Get well soon you two!

Enjoy the pics...

This 1958 Skyliner is owned by Lucien (Lou) Nogue and his wife Adrienne. He's owned this car for a long time.

The signature on the dash is from the man responsible for the design of the retractable hard top!

Lou is a really neat guy to talk with....and is justifiably proud of his wonderful Skyliner :biggthumpup:
