I would have, if I knew, and I didn't have to work. I got a few hours of sleep in Rockford, some in a chair, and a couple in my car. Who needs a hotel?

It's only six hours away, it's a local show for me. The drive feels shorter I've done it so much the past few years.
6 hours?. Last year the 15 hours one way Nick and I did was a drop in the bucket and many were blown away we drove 750 miles one way. One guy was shocked when I answered his question if I trailered it to the show....No ..and built to be driven lol.

That's the most generous serving of butterscotch pudding I've ever seen....
Nice to see people out, unmasked, and acting normal for a change.

Sorry to have missed the show this year...hope to make it in 2021. Great pics!
You were missed...I don't think there was a single super-lite in attendance!
As a matter of fact, there were a couple people that I was suprised not to see. Tim really knocked it out of the park reserving such a beautiful spot, and the weather cooperated pleasantly.

Maybe next year there will be 2 superlights! Could hope for 3 but that probably won't happen...
...ever.

2020 will be remembered as the No Car Show Year, but fortunately the 4th Annual C Body Show won't be included in that category.
Thanks to everyone who made it out to Randall Oaks Park. Your attendance made the event a success.
Even though most attendees consisted of the repeat offenders, and with about 1/2 who registered made the show, there were a few newbies this year that proves there's enough interest with our C Bodies and that it warrants doing this again next year.
The day before the show, a little housekeeping at the shop was needed, and a final prep with the cars was the agenda for the day. One by one they were getting parked outside. Later that day, Xenon brought his 67 Imp over for some front end work and an oil change.

The night before, I drove the New Yorker home since I was bring 3 cars and had just 2 drivers. My brother and I went to shop early on Saturday, and were on our way to the park when the Imperial started to sputter, and then died. Out of gas, and of course the one time I wasn't carrying any extra fuel, Murphy's Law happened.
By the time we get to the park, it was still before the show was to start. With no one else there yet, the Imperial was parked and we took the 300 back to my house to get the New Yorker. By the time we got back to the park, one car had already arrived. It was one of our newbies with the 68 300 convertible.
He and his wife were kind enough to lend a hand with the pop up tent, and unloading the cars with the other supplies/signs, etc...
Soon afterwards, the c bodies started to roll in.
Some of the pics that were taken.....
The convertibles.....

I didn't have any pics of this Imperial while at the show, but here's a few....

After the fun and games were over, @david hill , @LocuMob @71Polara383 and me gassed up our cars and drove out to Wyatts in Rockford. I parked the C bodies for the night, and decided to take the R/T.
On the way there, the alternator fried in Wyatt's TX9 car. After a few minutes with David looking it over, and bypassing it, we were moving again. (Maybe Wyatt was having a Murphys Law day too)
It's a good thing, or just a ton of luck, that the battery held up all the way to Rockford.
It was sometime around 3:00am before ending back at the shop to park the R/T.
Good times.
