What awsome cars, Mark! It's a shame you didn't get the turnout you were hoping. I'd have been there, but fuel prices kept me closer to home.
I helped with a car show this weekend that consisted of all types of cars. One that made me think of you was a 57 Chevy Belair that was completely original and looked like it was driven off the showroom floor. The original owner had parked the thing in his livingroom for twenty years until he was forced to build a garage to store it once he got married.
