Bunkie Knudson, former pesident of Ford and Chairman of GM at the time this was built.





Mrs. Florence Knudson, Bunky's wife and a car discussed here before it went up for auction last year. The color is close, but the pearl just doen't come out in the pics. Even though it's over 40 years old, it looks 3 feet deep.







Last custom 'Vette, made for Ozzie Olson. Olson was better known for his Olsonite toilet seats, plus he was big into the unlimited hydroplanes that raced on the Detroit River. I don't really know the story behind this car. If anybody wants to chime in, go ahead.




The side pipes look like plastic, so I don't know if the car was ever driven. They might be black metal. The minders don't like anyone getting too close to look.

OK, now for a few highlites from the show. There were at least 400 cars there, a lot of them Corvettes that drove in for the show.
Vintage Hudson Hornet. Twin carbs on a straight 8, this car was fast for it's time, and the basis for many race cars and hot rods.




Sweet Chevy custom, IMO the nicest custom there.


Ram Air Judge, 4 spd with the ram air knob under the dash.
