I would first like to thank Bob and all the guys who put on this awesome show. This is my favorite car event of the year! I drove in from Indiana on Saturday morning and luckily it was still warm enough that the snow was melting when it hit the pavement. I was at the show from 9 to 9 on Saturday and 9 to 5 on Sunday and still could have spent more time looking at everything. I stayed at the Crowne Plaza and it was a 10 minute walk from my room to the show entrance. When it comes to photography I'm more of a quality than quantity guy so here are my favorites from the show.

I will start with the Hemi convertible E-Body display. It was awesome to see so many of these cars in one place.

There were 13 of the 18 Hemi Cuda convertibles from 1970 present.

T. Thurling's EW1 Alpine White car has a TorqueFlite and was originally sold in OH. It was a tubbed and caged racecar with a supercharged Hemi before it was restored. It was missing it's fender tag and there were no build sheets found so it was restored with a white interior. Galen G. later found the original dealer invoice at the selling dealer and it was determined the car originally came with a black interior.



The Brothers Collection EW1 Alpine car has a TorqueFlite and 3.55 gears and is a 20K mile car that was formerly owned by T. Lembeck.



P. Klutt's FY1 Lemon Twist Yellow car has a TorqueFlite and 3.55 gears and was originally sold in Canada.
