Goodguys Puyallup 7-15-06
 

Went to the Goodguys show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds (not far from Tacoma). My favorite show of the year. They opened it up to pre-72 stuff but I didn't know until we were there. Next year I'm takin' my Camaro.

Feast your eyes.

In the parking lot was this c55 Imperial.
