Lots of nice cars there. Really like this '67 NYer. What's the story with the fortress in the background? How old?*
* I googled it-
Grauerort fortress is a German artillery fort on Elbe river about 9 km (5.6 mi) north of Stade which was built between 1869 and 1879 to defend the Port of Hamburg. Its shape is hexagonal, taking advantage of the topography of the area and the location of the previously existing levee. The main armament of the fort were probably ten 21 cm breech-loading guns (as opposed to the initially planned four 28 cm and six 21 cm guns), but they are no longer in place. There were also 4 12 cm and six 9 cm guns. Construction materials were cement and brick; concrete was only used from 1885 onward.
While the fortress was in service during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870–71, it was never involved in any battles. After World War I, Grauerort was converted to a naval mine arsenal. Unused since 1985, it has been mostly restored to its original 19th-century state since 1997, and now serves as a museum and cultural venue.

I couldn't have said it better ;)
Unfortunately it was probably the last time that the meeting could take place there. Those responsible have planned another use for the site, which no longer provides for old cars. Very sad!!!
I know you all like pictures.
