Wouldn't be Memorial Day weekend in Springfield without some showers!!
My son in law and I were out today for a couple of hours and no rain.:D Looked for Matthyj and found his car, just not him, oh well maybe another time. These are some of the pictures I took.Attachment 65835Attachment 65834Attachment 65833Attachment 65832Attachment 65831
That's all folks, hope you enjoy them. Many people will notice that I am very partial to 40 Fords and early Vettes.. The Merc station wagon I believe is rare as I don't ever remember seeing one when I was a kid. The air cleaner picture was in the 55 Nomad picture that preceded it and I thought it was both unusual and unique.
You picked great cars, thanks for posting! Looks like a great time!

Ken, Sorry I missed you! I would have loved to chat for a bit. But your right I sometimes desert the car and go for a "walk about". I was probably watching my son do the ride along in the Autocross event, which was excellent as I rode once and it was better than a roller coaster, an event the young (my son) really got a kick out of and loved, he rode 7-8 times. I am not a good photographer but I did suction cup my sons GoPro to the hood and drove the whole event, which I will have him post and provide a link too!
Maybe we can all catch everybody together at Ottawa this year?
Crikey!
A wee Morris Minor!
That must be a pretty rare bird in the US!
Thanks for the pics Ken, I can't get that technical myself but I sure enjoy looking at other people's work.

Good stuff Ken........thanks.
Heres a video my son shot of us cruising around the outside loop of the fairgrounds, not near all the cars can be seen but if you didn't make the event or ever wondered what it was like......

Its Sept 17 & 18th, maybe Roger can be there. I know a few others mentioned trying to make it this year. Not only is it close to Roger, its close to the center of the states!

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics. I'm glad you have a thing for Corvettes and 40 Fords. So do I. :LOL:
Matthyj, thanks to for the vid. I didn't realize how large that show actually was. I need to consider getting to it one year.
My second car was a 40 Standard 2dr sedan I bought in Culver City, Ca. for $125 in 1962. I drove the car to Ohio in Dec. of 62 for leave and left it there.:rolleyes::mad::mad::mad:Quote:
