Thanks Bruce, brings back memories. I don't live far from Highland Springs, Va. Back in the sixties Hechler Chevrolet was known for selling a lot of hipo cars, in 1969 the word got out that they had that 69 orange COPO car in their show room. Me and some buddies when to Hechler (driving my 66 L-79 Nova) and I remember well that car setting in the showroom when it was brand new.

Was there Saturday and Sunday. Absolutely amazing experience both days. Anyone else see that little kid bounce a corner pole of the chrome bumper of a 50s buick? If you bring your kids to these things, you gotta watch them. Not the kids fault, but the parents. Also, the line up of the '64 and '65 GTOs and that '62 409 Bel Air was incredible. I liked how it looked like they were "the bad kids in detention" away from everyone else.
