Man you talk about some sweat iron. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Colorado 815. JR has done every thing to a grand scale. Every where we go during AmeriCARna the school kids are out waving American flags and cheering,the towns get right into it,even closing down the main roads thru the towns where we stop,usually for an hour or two,to let the locals walk around the cars and talk to the owners.JR has brought out from US a few vehicles,and owners,of course,for drawcards for the locals to see,including the Alstotts roadsters last year,Schroeders RPU and roadster the first year and the Alstotts drove around in the rain with the rest of us...In a regular rod,ok,but these folks did it in their 35 show car..
This year we had Gary Meadors and his wife with their 29 roadster..kool car indeed.
There has been a giveaway car also. First year was a mid eighties vette,last year a mid 60s mopar and this year was a 67 Pontiac Le Mans convertable.
This event is cut off at 800 vehicles,to keep it manageable,with all manner of iron from a restored 39Packard roadster to virtually new Vettes.
These photos are just a few of my personal favorites.With the favorable exchange rate at the present time,$2.00 for an American dollar,maybe some of you folks need to come down here for a holiday and check out the scenery...
