Oh and btw – The Road Apples appreciated the support from everyone that braved our show this year. I’m 99.9% sure it didn’t rain on another Saturday almost all summer long… we should be good with Mother Nature moving forward

It was expensive and like others have said, if you want friends & family to attend – it’ll cost you a small fortune. These are supposed to be family friendly events, someone may want to remind them of that. :unsure:
We didn’t go to as many shows this year either – mostly due to the weather and other commitments. Spring Green is always one of my favorite shows, the number of cars this year was simply amazing (likely due to Dennis Gage), I walked away afterwards feeling like they’ve outgrown the space and control over the number of cars and people.. Next year should be interesting for them… I also like the downtown shows, who knows maybe we’ll venture back to Edgerton sooner or later although it doesn’t sound like much has changed.
Our hands down favorite show this year was Back to the 50’s, I highly encourage everyone to put that on your “bucket list” if you haven’t attended. Where else can you see 12,000+ cars in one location? Simply amazing! The people that attend that show are so friendly, I’ve never come across any attitudes – we are looking forward to attending next year with the ’57 Chevy Steve has been working hard on the last few months.
I like to see the newer cars at shows and respect the owners behind them. Not everyone wants a 50+ year old car, or knows how to maintain it. As long as shows realize they need special classes for these cars and they should never be considered in any of the major “best of” classes, I’m good with that. The younger generation wants to be involved in this hobby too, as long as we all get along – I don’t see a problem.
It’s going to be a long winter
Nothing ruins a show more than weather that doesn’t cooperate… we’ve been to this show in the past and it’s always been nice – hopefully Mother Nature is more cooperative next year for a number of shows in the area!

Buy it now for $25k, put another 25-30k (or more) in it, is the car worth that much?
I’m looking at the prices some of the dealership memorabilia sold for… someone really paid $600 for a ruler?

One guy pointed out his old truck, his dad’s old car and his grandfather’s old car … and one guy bought back his car after trading it in 50 years ago.I’m sure over the next couple of years we will see “Lambrecht” cars for sale…
Several think we’ll see parts from the cars for sale soon. It was fun to watch, just a shame those cars were parked like that. We’re wondering how the guy made any money, he didn’t seem to sell much, and had very strong feelings about used cars.
This auction has been heavily advertised for months now, and we heard tonight it’s going to be televised.
I imagine everything will go for very high prices and it’ll be impossible to get near the place (if it isn’t already), who would’ve thought? Should be interesting to see how it all pans out.
Nothing, their hearts are in the right place… We’re surrounded by people that find something to complain about each and every day, it gets old very quickly. If you don’t like it, don’t support it – it’s that simple.
