And a COPO showcase. Camaro's, chevelle's, Gibb nova's etc.

I like the idea of a showcase of the 50th(!) Golden Anniversary of the 1961 factory offered Super Stockers! Now if someone wanted to split hairs, they could argue that the SS Wars started a little early, but to me and many others 1961 was the year where the Big Three Auto Manufacturers REALLY get serious! With Chrysler, the Ramchargers started to campaign a brand-new '61 Chrysler product with the 413 Long Ram, the Pontiac Super Duty really started to take off with some great factory-installed and over-the-counter offerings, Chevrolet had it's 348-350 HP Tri-Power and the famous 409 became available later in the year and Ford had it's 390-401 HP Tri-Carb Starliners. It was a great year and when 1962 rolled around, things got even more serious and then once again in 1963! After the GM Racing Ban in mid-'63, 1964 belonged to Ford &amp; Chrysler for the most part. Yeah, to me and many other people 1961 was the beginning of the factory Super Stock Wars and Musclecar Era in general!

<span style="font-size: 14pt">I mentioned to Bob that I think it would be cool have a area full of 60's &amp; 70's muscle cars with <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF6666">p</span><span style="color: #FFFF66">s</span><span style="color: #FF99FF">y</span><span style="color: #33CCFF">h</span><span style="color: #CC33CC">e</span><span style="color: #333333">d</span><span style="color: #006600">e</span><span style="color: #FF0000">l</span><span style="color: #FF0000">i</span><span style="color: #FF99FF">c</span></span> paint jobs.....cars with lace, murals, endless lines metal flakes etc... with a &quot;Far out&quot; paint job. He seemed to like the idea.

Like this 1969 Roadrunner painted by Kenny Kay.</span>

I would enjoy seeing a Superstock or A/FX class. They always draw a lot of attention at shows and the stories that accompany those cars are usually worth their weight in gold.

Re: MCACN III 2011; Never too early to start!
 

A Woodward display might be cool. There probably isn't/wasn't a more significant street racing (er, cruising) venue - featuring some clandestine factory-backed efforts. A few are still around, too.

Re: MCACN III 2011; Never too early to start!
