Here are four more. The last one is of Orv Cusik. He ordered his Charger from the factory way back when, with the SPD being his birthday. We had a great conversation about his car, the idiosyncrasies about the '68's, and his original factory cruise control. The car was "freshened" up a few years ago (took it apart completely), and everything looks and works great. I probably took 50 photos of his engine bay alone. A true '68 aficionado.

The last two are of my baby. I think I'm allowed.  ;)

One amusing story that I alluded to earlier involved a Mopar (not a Charger) owner and his wife. It seem as she was setting up color coordinated folding chairs and umbrellas next to his pride and joy when he started loudly berating her. As I recollect the diatribe, he said (correction - yelled) "No, the yellow umbrella goes with the red chair, and the red umbrella goes with the yellow chair. Honey, you have to do it right! Look, you may come to one of these shows by yourself and how you arrange these chairs and umbrellas is very important. It's a subtle thing! You have to do it right to bring home the hardware!"  Just fricking amazing....  :P

Overall it was a great show. I met a couple original '68 Chargers owners, with lots of original paperwork, and a lot of the membership, and saw a lot of nice Mopars.  :cheers:

You're allowed. :icon_smile_cool:

I guess I missed reading that guys instruction manual, 'cause I got a blue pop-up, red and green chairs, an orange car and a Norwegian wife who likes 63 Chevies and who would smack me if I pulled that shit.

Thanks for posting all the pics. Outstanding show it was, and your pics help tell the story.  :2thumbs:

if i talked to my wife like that in public, she would've placed the color coodinated umbrellas through the rear window, and deposited the chairs through the windshield. and then said "is that subtle enough for you?" :smilielol:

 It always pays to check out the parking lot there, lots of surprises at every show I've ever been to, maybe 15 of the last 25 years.
My cameras' screen is cracked so i have no idea what's gonna show up back home on the 'puter... but this came out kinda' neat i thought.
