[A12pilot]

Well.....we all know this thread would be started at some point, and I just couldn't take it anymore, so I'm starting it!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img].

Turkey is gone, pumpkin pie is a distant memory, and Christmas decorations are all up, so what showcase ideas are up for consideration for next year? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] What's Dan V going to coordinate? What is Grady bringing? Ryan and the Barn Find section? What will Charley eat in the cafeteria? These are the questions......perplexing.....mystifying.....but oh so exciting!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Let's hear 'em!

Cheers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

I will be bringing my folding chair and will be camped out behind the &quot;B&quot;, and I will have my flashlight for as needed inspections on said car.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

A couple of feature show cases which Mr. Ashton can confirm will be:

Class of 1972
Class of 1967
Barn finds &amp; Hidden Gems
Muscle Bikes

What did you guys think of the Moto-X display?

How about giant luxo-barges/pimpmobiles of the 1970s? I could bring my grandfathers 1971 Lincoln Golden Anniversary Continental. But then again we wouldn't have room to display more than a couple of them in that hall.

While I may own a Corvette and Camaro, I enjoy looking at the &quot;other&quot; cars on display at MCACN and I enjoyed the thread on your Grandfathers Continental.

Or a Viper class, since 2017 is not only the 25th anniversary of the original but the last year for them, (Seeing that production has ceased..again). I could bring the old Project Pit Viper, the Mopar Muscle magazine project car from 25 years ago (also known as the work bench in the corner of my garage for the past two decades).

I thought the Moto X display was great and in keeping with the theme of the show. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

NOPE, I thought the opposite. Had no idea WHAT it was doing there...or the Broncos for that matter. And as far as station wagons...yeah, if they were drag cars that would be awesome, hello LEAD SLED, but regular wagons? Nuh-uh.

The &quot;theme&quot; of the show is in the title: The Musclecar and Corvette Nationals. It's not the &quot;What Baby-Boomers-Remember-From-Their-Youth Nationals&quot;. That's my 2 cents.

Believe it or not, we appreciate and consider all feedback.

As for Wagons, certainly a possibility IF they have a performance twist. And yes...there are a few out there that would fit that criteria and certainly not &quot;regular&quot; wagons like what Mom drove.

As for the motorcycles, they were a HUGE hit and exceptionally well received. We will have Mr. Schwartz joining us again for 2017 with an entirely different round of motorcycles, and he has informed me that he can do the display with all different bikes for several more years.

One thing we always attempt to do is throw in some stuff that may not exactly &quot;fit&quot; the overall theme of the show, but is just fun. We have to keep in mind that occasionally some people are &quot;dragged along&quot; to the show and really could care less about whether it is a Hemi or a 6 banger or whether it is a real ZL1 or COPO. These people do, however, freak out over a group of motorcycles, or bicycles or even the Tucker, the Amphicar or Meisenhelder we had in the lobby in years past.

I know, I know...hard to believe that there are actually some people out there that don't care if they never see another Hemi Car, Mustang or Camaro! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

At some point and time, Pro-Street cars of the early 1980's will be back.
