I'll see if I can post some pics of the Chargers, as there are MANY!!!!

Not a 'Vette person myself, so the choice would be easy for me.  As for the Chargers, that would be a treat; I don't think I've ever seen more than two Chargers together at any one time.  There was the one time when a dealer parked their SRT8 Charger by my '69 at a car show for their display, but...that didn't count...

I love the Corvettes - AND the Chargers!!!

There will be dozens upon dozens of 2nd and 3rd Gen Chargers at this show. The best of the best I cannot sleep!!!

[Ghoste]

Hopefully some 1st gens too?

Was at the show from 8:45 AM until 8 PM. I am beat! Did not see any 1st Gen Chargers. saw probably a 1/2 doz 2nd gens, a few 3rd gens, and a couple wing cars.  

As much as my back hurts from standing on concrete, I'll be back in the AM.

Don't you go to car shows myk?

I love the Corvettes -

The mrs. is also very keen on them.

Vettes are overrated in my book.  They're nice cars, but when cheaper cars can garner the same performance, the appeal doesn't catch me.

But it's more than just performance. She has loved the look of the car right from it's infancy to present day. A corvette is a corvette is a corvette. No nice cheap car can take away from that.

I agree that there are some nice Vettes.   I personally like the Mako shark type.

[Ghoste]

Its image and reputation, I get why the Chev guys adore it but I'd sooner have a Viper.

Aside from the name, other muscle cars outnumber the Vettes at this show by a lot.    Great event.   The group of cars they put together would be nearly impossible to see in one place anywhere else.

And with the guy organizing it being a Mopar guy I would think the Chrysler products would all be pretty top shelf examples.

I thought so to at first but I've changed my mind. I'd have to choose the Vette.

Stayed today until 4 PM. What a long day!

There were two 1st Gen Chargers. A green one and a gold one.

Saw more 2nd gens, incl. a C500  There was also a new Challenger which was made to look like a modern (interpretation) Daytona 

Barn find section was pretty good, but "Barn Find" is overused, when at least one of those cars was pulled from a field, rust and all. Several were tired... The coolest one though, was the Ford wagon w/ 428 and 4 spd w/ buckets 

[Aero426]

Yes, the 428 stick Country Squire was perhaps my favorite car from the Barn Finds.    An incredible sight.

That's funny!

Thanks for the AM humor, got my day started with a laugh

Yeah, wish it were for sale!

[Aero426]

Still in the box it came in.

[Aero426]

So cool.
