Meadowbrook Concours De Elegance.
 

Spent a great day yesterday at the renouned Meadowbrook Concours car show, while the show has focus on the Duesenberg class and era cars, the organizers had invited about 12 of the "Best" muscle cars to be in attendence. I went with a friend who has recently purchased one of the 69 427 Yenko Nova's, we brought the Nova to the show and his 69 LS-7 Baldwin Motion Camaro was also on display. The first four of the following links are photos of the 427 Yenko Nova, the next four links are photos of the Baldwin Motion LS-7, the next four are of a Hemi Cuda convertible owned by the Hemi King Harold Sullivan, this was the Cuda's debut appearence. The next four links are photos of a Berger RS COPO that the Tieman restoration had just been completed on. The remaining cars invited were a "Moulan Rouge" pink 440+6 70 GTX that is the only car ever painted that color, number 66 Cortez Silver ZL-1 was on hand from Arizona, Floyd Garrett brought a 63 Impala SS 409, and a 61 Super Duty light weight Pontiac. A mid sixties 426 Wedge Polara convertible with window sticker, a 64 GTO that had the staightest black paint I have ever seen on a car, and finally a red, white, and blue 69 competition AMX completed the display. While the muscle cars were represented at Meadowbrook by a small amount of cars, it was a very impressive showing that did our hobby well. All were filmed for a upcoming segment on Speedvision.

Motown,
How did the weather hold out for that show? I was going to go but I felt there may of been some rain over that way.
I really like that Nova! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Maxx,
The morning was party cloudy and the humidity was thick, the afternoon let go with one 15 minute downpour, 15 minutes later it cleared up for the rest of the day. I felt bad for the guys who had all the top flight open classics from the 20's and 30's, it's not like they could just roll up their windows. Everybody had a cover for those cars. It certainly didnt dampen the show in the aspect of attendence, the place was packed, before and after the rain. The automakers had a lot of really neat concept cars, from the thirties to present. Jim Mattison and Al Maynard are two of the organizers for the event, they and everyone else invlolved did a fantastic job as it was well organized and went off without a hitch. The show set a record for the most Duesenburgs ever in attendence at one event, they came from around the world to put 34 fine examples in one place at the same time. I have about 60 more photos from all the classes including the concept cars, if anyone is interested just let me know.
Thanks,
