That is one extremely beautiful car. It would be perfect for your wedding.Speaking of Volksies, at Cocours Motors in Milwaukee there will be a VW car show on 6-6-09 Saturday. Nice laid back show open to all VWs and VW powered cars, old and new. Saw a couple of nice type 34s last year there.
Here in Milwaukee, the cut off rule applies at many cruise nights. Solid gold and Pistol Pete’s to name two are huge in the amount of cars they get, so they are employing a year cut off rule. I personally don’t care for it and have changed the rule at my own cruise night. Someone pays me to DJ, but since my GF and I take care of registration, door prizes and all that, I started letting in newer stuff like the Mustangs, Challengers and such things. In these times with some cruise nights struggling to stay afloat, this year of manufacture bias can kill a show in some areas.
Are they really costing that much to keep? I would keep both and weather the storm. It’s like those folks who say they won’t buy anything because the economy is bad…well, if you don’t buy stuff, the economy WILL be bad.

Most of my pics are cropped but some I couldn’t crop the date stamp out of them, so you know those are mine. About 30 pictures altogether.Later,
TerryI saw your car when I was there on Saturday. Did not get a chance to meet you. Truly a beautiful car in person.

Quote:I like this show, too, and I have attended this show in years past. It is a Mustang/All Ford Show, so there is very stiff competition among the Mustang owners, with alot of new special edition Mustangs like Rousch cars and Shelby Cars. There will be several hundred Mustang, alone, at this show.Unfortunately, the timing of this conflicts with the Dells Automotion Show, and the past couple of years, I have been going to the Dells. Also, as I remember, the awards at this show are all hand made by club members, and are unique and one of a kind.

One of their sponsors/members makes the awards and they are unique for every year and are hand made, usually of wood. Since Automotion was very cold for me today and I did not do any car drawings, I came back home and I will attend the Venus/Mustang show.
My most memorable ride was in a 1929 Moon when I was a kid. I was at a car show and the owner gave me a ride home in it.
The most dangerous and scary car would have been the 1966 Rambler wagon I drove from Illinois to Florida in the 70s. The brakes failed somewhere in Georgia and I continued to drive it all the way to St Pete. Timing stop lights and rolling through the stop signs and dealing with hill was not fun. I was 19 and stupid. Adding fluid to the master every few stops.You Ford guys will love that show. Great awards, lots of real nice door prizes and their current DJ, Donny Kasper is pretty good (I used to DJ this show).
I have never felt the superiority thing from any Corvette owner, even when I had really awful cars. In the 80s when I moved to Wisconsin, I started autocrossing my 76 Hornet X 304 V8. I participated in rallyes with all manor of cars with one of the local Vette clubs, even a Chevette. They even invite me to there yearly shows to draw cars without charging me a vendor fee.
I read the article in the latest Hemming’s Muscle Machine and I think even the base car will be pretty good. Sure is a lot different than the old V6 in my old Mercury Marquis.
Muth Mirror Systems must still be doing good as we are still doing harneses for them. They make the side mirrors that have turn signals behind the glass.
