the biggest surprise and coolest vehicle was Ron Berry's Surf Seeker
and the winner of the America's Most Beautiful Roadster was this '33
this is the dual grilled Lincoln Zephyr from the Lee Roy Hartung collection, you probably recognize it from the auction news http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/11/private-car-collection-of-lee-roy.html
the Suede Palace just as they opened the doors, 1st time I've ever been in there without a crowd around every car.
a recreation of the Grasshopper
a couple of cars in the contention for the AMBR award
and great news, James Hetfield has Rick Dore working on another masterpiece above... based on the design of the Figoni and Falashi 1938 Delahaye 165 cabriolet
and I think that the above is the only dual rear window I've ever seen
plus recreations of Norm Grabowski's Lightning Bug, and below, the original Moonshiner of Mickey Himsl
and I was also happy to see this for the first time, Tommy Ivo's trailer! I wish more of the trailers and transporters were brought to car shows.... they get as much attention (as Don Prudhomme proved) as the show cars
