Dan & I had a good time that day. Especially a good laugh at the end, eh Dan?  :smilielol:

A very wide variety of cars were in attendance at that show, I had no idea how rare or unique some of them really were.
The guy that interviewed me is actually a long time friend of my father's since childhood days. Very nice guy, I've known him all my life. Car guy too, has a survivor late '60's Mustang. Very nice car.
