I reloaded these at 2048 pixels, when viewed in my Picasa or Windows picture folder, the resolution is good, but for some reason they look low resolution when viewing here, sorry.

Great photos! The only thing that could have made it better is if you would have bought a sign and sent it to me!

ditto!

good selection and some interesting perspectives

maybe I am in one pic!

I made a somewhat lower offer on the $385k car but have not heard back yet. I tucked a flier way deep inside it too, should be interesting when somebody finds that...

Pat,

Just curious, how much was the Doctor Olds neon sign?

Thanks,
Greg

IIRC that was the high water mark one.

I have been going to this show since 1996 and it seems like a lot of different cars this year or least it seems like there was.

Thanks for taking and posting the pictures. Volunteered for part of the day and had to hustle to see as many cars as I could before they left. You've enbled me to take a second look at some and to see some that I missed. Your efforts are really appreciated!

Yes you could, I'm just unsure why someone would. (The car was very nice, the colour combo just isn't my cuppa tea.)

I missed the first year of Homecoming, only because I didn't know about it, been going ever since, and I am always impressed by the variety and quality of the cars that show up, always something new.

I talked to several people who brought their car here for the first time ever this year.


The Sebring Yellow W-31 with gold stripes is 1 of 1, insists the owner ......

We might've met and not even known who each other were. That's the problem with these internet avatars. And I'm usually looking at the cars more than their windshield placards anyway. Some day I'll go to a meet with an actual list of people I want to meet, then track them down!

I was across the lane from that 70 W-31 selling parts, if you stopped to look then we met.

Yes I probably met you too ! I walked around and stopped at all of the vendors looking for what each had to offer . We need a... HELLO I'm on C/O button , that would start a lot of conversations.

Good point 61reo, I've been thinking of some banners or signage, even something declaring what I basically carry. I feel bad everytime someone asks if I have any Pre-Korean war era parts, let alone Vietnam.

Thanks, Brett

Very nice! was great to meet you too, Mr Red-Gut stuff.
I really should do that as a 'show and tell ' item.
I have a few unique ones like that, the indefinite "rare" but realistically worthless items.
