Charley's Pick of the Show.











This guy kinda looked familiar.





It was REALLY good to see our old friend Bob again. We walked around together for a while and looked at some cool cars. We miss you my friend.

Charley,

That is definitely one incredible vehicle. We gave it the National Nostalgic Nova club choice award at MCACN ( by a landslide!). I always knew you had good taste!

Wow! I missed Gags! Bob sorry I missed you, Hope all is well!

My take on the show....

My opinion is that the show was indeed a huge success, I believe that next year will even be even Bigger and Better! Why? Because all of the non-chevy participants that might have been skeptical to bring out there really "Good Stuuf" are no longer skeptical.

They wanted to come in person....without there cars and see the show for themself. Now that they have seen it, and love the atmosphere they will come. Bob Ashton you better get a better, stronger cell phone battery. Great Job Bob Ashton and Crew.

Bob, Thanks for getting in the Black BM 1969 Chevelle in at the very last minute. This meant a lot to my client John.

Dan.

I spoke to the owner of the pickup. He also owns the black Z16 Chevelle that was next to it. He is looking for a vintage trailer. Attach the trailer to the pickup with the Z16 loaded on the trailer. That would just look killer. Hopefully we can get him back next year with that setup. I guess you Nova guys have good taste also.

I just said the same thing Dan. Hopefully the Ford and Mopar (and AMC) folks will get some media coverage and see that this is a 'Must See/Must Attend' event. Getting quality cars to the venue is obviously not an issue. NOW let's ALL spread the word and pack the spectator aisles for 2010!

Wow..what a show!!. Bob/Vicki, you did good, thanks for everything.

Talk about taking a show to another level, I do not know of another indoor mutli-make musclecar show that even comes close to MCACN. I am glad that the sYc was able to be part of the inaugural show, and hopefully allowed to be a part of future shows. I did not get a sYc member car count, but the sYc was well represented. Thanks guys and gals for your efforts.

It was cool to walk around and visit with other club members, see their cars, this time not only Chevys, but all makes.

Another cool thing I liked was meeting all of the celebrebitis who were there back in the day. Their stories are priceless, and of course I was glad to see the Chevrolet supercar dealers well represented

Lastly, had to be the most musclecar writers/authors ever assembled under one roof.
