i went last year and it was a pretty cool show. cars from 1929 & up i believe. nothing newer than a early 70's. imports & domestic. one vw last year. the bordeux reddish rometsch beeskow. lotsa cool cars tho.

very nice location too. cars lined up & down water street. if the weather holds out, this year should be allright. i dont think the # of cars will be as great as last year. insider info here.

The show was great.

They encourage the owners to sit with their cars so you can talk to them.  Its very interesting to hear the stories behind some of the cars.

Who was the VW person talking to the guy with the 57 Chevy ambulance?

The show was great.

i totally agree.

there seemed to be a few less cars than last year, but still a great turnout. and the motorcycle turnout was way better than last year.

there seemed to be alot more imports aswell. singers, mg's, jags. the 29 dusenburg was sweet. that og unrestored ambulance was pretty cool too.

and you cant beat the location. all in all, good times.

I walked through also. Lots of really nice, original cars. Some old motorcyles too.
I liked how they had the cars grouped together, in the same classes and years.  All the emergency vehicles were together. The English sports cars together. Same with domestic cars, german cars, etc.
