Tons of pictures from today's World Of Wheels show (Boston)

[jb666]

Today the wife and I went to the Bayside Expo Center to check out this year's World Of Wheels. The past few years this show has been horrible... Over-run by ricers, toilets that have no business in a car show like this and was an over-all waste of money... But not this year.. The show was great! Wall to wall people, TONS of cool cars and lots to see!!

So here goes.. I won't comment on all of the pictures because there's just way too many, I'd be here all day.. Enjoy!!

The highlight of my day was meeting Henry Winkler (The Fonz) and watching as he hit on my wife. It was great!! He kissed her 5X (or more) and kept saying he was going to leave with her.. I said that was fine, because how many guys can brag that their wife left them for THE FONZ?!?! Very few, I'd imagine..

Anyways, here goes...

First, I'll get my highlight out of the way...

Nice pics Jeff,

I'm speechless over the work that has gone in to these rides. I think i'm gonna sell mine.  

[jb666]

That's all, folks!!!!!!

Indeed it was, Frank.

Look closer at that '68. It's got "ghost" lettering on it.. It's got GL "01"'s on the door and the lettering on the roof. He was capitalizing on the DOH fame for some reason.. Wrong year. Wrong color(s), and the paint was trashed.

Wow just noticed that....

Hmm, on the right car it seems like a neat idea.

Thanks for taking the time to bring us a virtual tour Jeff.  Much appreciated.  I'll take that 69 RR in the last set thank you very much.  

[jb666]

No problem! I don't go anywhere without my camera and I'm ALWAYS happy to post'em up for others to enjoy... There was so much more, but I think I captured the bulk of it.

And why was your GL not in the show ?

After all you have a story to tell.

And why was your GL not in the show ?

Honestly?? Two reasons...

1. We had family in town all weekend that we were entertaining... We haven't seen them for a couple of years and couldn't get out of entertaining... Which sucked.

2. The weather MIGHT have stopped me since I didn't have an enclosed trailer to transport it. We've seen almost 5" of rain in the last 2 days... So weeks of cleaning would have been destroyed on the way there.

But believe me... I WILL be there next year, because some of the cars I saw there today had HACKED paint jobs... Don't get me wrong, there were some amazing rides, as you can see here, but walking around I kept saying (to my wife) "Why's mine not here?". She was saying I TOLD YOU!!    But it just wasn't in the cards...

Cool pics thanks for posting!

Is it just me or does something not quite sit right with the full tail panel being painted satin black on the 68?

Great shots Jeff.   I'm going to try to go to that show this weekend here in Des Moines.   But what, no pictures of the Hudson Hornet? How about that one with the Fonz hitting on your wife??

[jb666]

You laugh, as if I didn't take them... I DID! I posted them on my FB page and people were cracking up at how The Fonz was all over my wife and practically pushing me off the stage  I love the guy!!!!
