Some beautiful cars there Anglia, thanks for sharing,
From when cars were individual, you coild strip off all the bumpers, badges, chrome ang grill and still know what it is,
Today, take the makers badge off and you struggle to tell the difference from one car to the next.

I agree, thanks for sharing. While no LBC's it must have been a blast to see and talk with other gear heads

A couple of things that bug me about these shows - the guys who show
up with newer cars (like the new Challenger).Always seems to be a bunch of
them together.
The other is newer 4WD pickups that look like they were purchased at the
dealership with all kinds of add-ons,& the owners are WAY to serious about
showing them.There's a newer Toyota Tundra that seems to be at every show,and
the guy always seems to park it in a prominent spot,plus has a big custom made
sign with all the information on it.
I prefer the rare/unusual cars,many that don't get the attention of the muscle-
cars,etc. that are detailed within an inch of their lives,& many trailered to the shows.

I talked to the owner of the Ferrari 328,as was impressed when a father &
his two boys were looking at it,& he asked them if they wanted to sit in it.

AMC Rambler!

My favorite in the show. It belongs to Maynard Keller,who has
a collection of AMC cars.His Wife also works with my Wife at the school.

That "Rambler" looks to be a Rogue version. First Wife learned to drive in a three-speed manual one. Quite the sleeper for its time!

The GTV is sweet. Cromodora 5-spoke wheels, looks to be a 2L. Mine was AR-501 red and a 1750, same wheels. I miss that car.

Excellent showing. We had the station wagon version of the blue Pontiac Catalina! It had a 383
