Was a nice show with a great turnout of beautiful cars, 6 Z cars were in attendance and an 81 ZX w/50k miles took 1st place in the Japanese car category, 2nd went to an 85 RX7, the ZX looked like it had just rolled out of the showroom.... my pics include a red Triumph Italia 2000, it was an Italian bodied TR3 built in limited numbers with few remaining examples, it also was as new in appearance, the blue car is a Renault Alpine with a V6 in the trunk, this was spetacular also. I am also a Volvo nut and greatly admired the 2 1800 sport models in the show, a red coupe and a green sport wagon, the coupe owner told me his car was putting out 150hp, looked like a fun car to drive... A few beautiful Fiat 2000's, all in all a helluva show til the rain started about 2pm.. The Museum had a display indoors of the Cadillac Heritage collection, vintage and special Caddys from a 1909 prototype to a 2003 concept Cadillac Sixteen, a massive car with 2 V8's under the clamshell hood, 30inch rims, 1000hp...

Can't believe Hemmings would make people park these exquisite cars under sappy pine trees during the summer!

Tom, do they allow photography inside the museum?

When I was parking my car I asked if the trees were dripping sap, in cleaning my car yesterday I found a big glob on my hood, t-tops and hatch window. I used some alcohol pads, I have a lifetime supply of those being diabetic, and it came right off nicely.....
