Pavillions: Scottsdale Arizona 8 Mar 08

[mockingbird812]

In order not to offend anyone, especially those that live in areas with less than optimal weather conditions, I've decided to not mention how nice it was out there last night at the Pavillions. Instead, I'll tell you what the weather wasn't. It wasn't windy, cold, overcast, wet, icy, slippery, or dreary.

There was a bunch of people there and some new iron I'd never seen before. Went up with Ngtflyr (Dave House), and met the usual suspects, Bob A., Stan, Dave O, Fred K, Mark A, Kevin D, Mike G, Wayne, John W, Ric, Bob S., Don B, Terry.....but no Bruce to be found anywhere http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif . Anyway, tried to do you proud dude.

And finally so as not to tease you or waste your time, I assure you I may have set a new standard for a headlight shot (and NO, I'm not referring to headlights with filaments!). All I will tell you is, it was a close up ( I should get hazardous duty pay - thanks Ngtflyr for your diversionary tactics) and she is, let's say, pointed and bountiful http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif .

Favorite Poncho of the night (Dave O, you owe me an ice cream cone - just give me the one that you DON'T give to Bruce http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ) was this beauty. That's Ngtflyr (Dave) checking it out. You have to see this one in person to appreciate it. Interior is terrific and inviting....

I know I have shown this car before, but I spent some more time with the owner, Ric (retired police LT) and he filled me in on the extensive research he has done with this Hertz Shelby. He has owned this car for 22 years. This is a local car and was rented at the Sky Harbor Airport back in '66. He tracked down the Hertz employee that remembers this car. The rules of the day required a "fam" flight for each customer to familiarize them with the capabilities of these potent pony cars. Well one day a fellow came in to rent this car and the Hertz employee recognized the new customer. It was Dan Gurney. THe Hertz employee was still gonna conduct the fam flight but with a twist. He threw the keys to Mr. Gurney who then showed the employee how a '66 Shelby should be properly flogged. Car has been in a number of older mags over the years, and more recently Ford has used it extensively in ads to promote the modern Hertz Mustang. Anyway this car is just a gem and Ric is a cool dude to boot.....
