1973 New York Coliseum

[Starship]

Digging through my old photos and found this. Feb, 1973 at the New York Coliseum Car Show, A major snow storm kept the cars that were supposed to be in the display from arriving. I was asked if I wanted to move my car into the spot. Couldn't say yes fast enough. Pretty exciting for a 22 year old kid at the time. And yet, I never kept any of the fliers that were handed out.

Car shows must attract snow storms like trailer parks attract tornados.

I have many memories of slogging down to the Detroit custom auto show at Cobo during a blizzard.

That is very cool.

No connection with them other than as I said in the OP. Their cars couldn't make it so promoters substituted mine for their already set up display. And yes, I still have it. I.ve been it's only owner.

Very cool Sal! Got any recent pics? We'd love to see them.

Put that car in a mall with 1,000 cars, put up a drone and that car would jump out like the griswalds house on Christmas vacation.

I don’t recall those wheel covers for 1967, but for sure 1968.

Car is brand new in that photo, Definitely available on '67s.

Late 67 & 68 they were available. I remember the original car photos now. Thank you for jogging the memory banks.
