The Shelby Cobra display was awesome and well done with storyboards and easy identification signs on each car. I expected the Corvette display but was surprised by the line of six L88’s. I was expecting the line of half the Trans Am ragtop population, but it’s still staggering to see. The lines of Hemi cars with Hemi E Body ragtops on tilted pedestals were impressive as well. I recognized many significant cars that I’ve tracked in the past, and as a Hipo Ford fan, the row of R code Galaxies and Fairlanes was quite a thing to see. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen pairs of ‘65, ‘66, and ‘67 R code Galaxies in the same place before.

It was an amazing and well run event. Thanks to The Brothers and especially Doug and Kaylie who were behind the scenes making it a smooth and well organized event.

Great to hear you enjoyed the signage. I had the honor of writing those for The Brothers several years ago, and really enjoyed doing it. (over 300 of them!)

Was great catching up with some of you!
