I took the LeBaron ( '67) to a "Mopar Muscle Car" show once, and a kid at the gate tried to turn me away thinking it was a Lincoln. He got quite an earful, and won't make THAT mistake again........
 
This show historically seems to more “Rain than Shine”.
Weather is kind of sketchy this early in spring.
 
Looks like the weather might hold out tomorrow...I am going to play it safe and go to a local swap meet instead.

Hopefully there is a good turnout and you could post up some pics dematt.

The show was great and the swap was even better!:thumbsup:
It was no doubt pretty chilly but it was bright sunshine all day long and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I didn’t take any pics but a buddy did and he emailed them to me.

Matt's was the only C-body I saw while I was there:

Sometimes the parking lot is nearly as interesting as the show field:

I had to stop on the way home to get a closer look at this:

For those familiar with the Detroit area, the cherry Newport is at a lot on Van Dyke between Eight and Nine Mile roads.
 
Was there a price on that Newport?
 
I know that Black '62 sport 300 'Vert. and the guy that owns it. Last time I saw him waz at the Mopar show at Bakers in Milford in '08 or '09. That's the car and guy I told you about that I waz setting beside back then at the North Oakland Show when they still held them at Centerline, where they walked right past the Batwagon to Judge hiz Black '62 Sport 'Vert without even giving the Batwagon ah blink. I remember that day well 'cuz that waz the last time I graced their show with my presents. Their 99% B-body+E-body guyz anyway. I doubt any of them are old enough to remember carz with finz? lol. Hope to see You and Your Bride at Carlisle come July Pal, Jer
