There were 200 to 300 cars there yesterday. What's so great about the show is the wide variety of really rare and odd ball cars. I won't bore you with lot of pictures but here's a few I took.

Here's a couple of Wings for Jerry.





And a '52 Hudson Hornet (Hudson had over 80 NASCAR wins)



Some Nash's



Here's a new one for me. 1960 Denzel with an early Porsche appearance.
It was made in Vienna, Austria.



When's the last time you saw a 1961 Corvair "Rampside" truck.



A personal favorite of mine, since my grandmother owned a Marman
at one time. This is a 1928 Marman race car that looked like it just
came off a dirt track.

Awesome Dave!!! Thanks for sharing. I love the Marmon and Hudson!!! Vintage race cars

And ever since I saw cars I am especially in love with the Hudson

Just a couple more. This is really rare. 1948 "three-wheel"
Davis Delta. #2 of 13 made in CA.



A nice Parkard.



They don't make 'em like they used to (no VETC).



This one really got a lot of attention. A recent "barn find"
that was not even washed before bringing it to the show.
I forget what year REO it was but it had 1921 plates in the
back and 1941 plates in the front (believed to be the last
year it saw action until the find).

Dave,

If you got more, post 'em!! These are really neat!

Tadashi

Wow, the REO is very rare. I've only seen a couple at shows over the years.

I just love original cars. I would FAR rather see well worn seats and a little dirt than a super shiny "don't drive me" paint job.

Although pristine restorations have a place, I honestly prefer the more valuable originals more times than not.

I only took a few more..

Here's a cleaned up REO that belongs to a fellow MGA
owner.



I took a few extra of the Hudson, knowing Jim's a big fan.







I have another friend who restored a 1910 Brush; which
has lots of brass. I found this one interesting that it hardly
had any. Note the wooden front axle.



Another group shot.



Here's the front of the barn find.



That's all from this time.

Great shots, Dave. Oh yeah, Twin H-Power! The Hudson Hornet was one of the first passenger cars that had a "Step Down" floor design that lowered the car's center of gravity. My dad used to show me that you didn't really need to use the brakes before going into the corners! The car would carve corners like a go-cart!

Speaking of step downs. I was looking at an Allard K3 (full bodied Allard) and I noticed this big notch at the corner of the passenger's floor near the seats. I couldn't figure it out; so I asked if it had to do with frame. Nope it was to balance things cause there was also a similar notch on the driver's side - - - that's where the gear shift lever was at. Weird. Although it was left hand drive for the US, the gearshift was placed so you had to shift left handed as well.
