Nice pic's, I spent about 5 hrs there today, I ran into Roger & chatted with him briefly as well. Lots of nice cars your taste and mine look very similar, still not sure what to think about that 30 year sliding rule
personally I could have missed the 1984 Honda and few equivalents I saw. Been there the past 18 years or so, never seen so few of vendors sadly, but plenty of nice cars

As you can see I'm rather partial to 36 and 40 Fords as well as early Mustangs
That's all folksKen Thomas

I sure wish I'd gotten a rear shot of the 35/36 Auburn Boat Tail Speedster, first one I've seen in ages.

Thanks Ken, some nice hardware there. Quite the gathering of Chryslers that aren't seen rodded that often. I'm in on that Catalina too, very clean...Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Thanks for posting, Ken. You & grandson Ian made it around more of the grounds than I did this trip, and glad that you stopped by for a visit. It was also good to visit with Matt, and to put a face with the screen name. It would have been nice if he could have brought the sedan, but the $70 ticket for only one day was indeed pretty steep (NSRA membership plus the at show rate of $40), so it was totally understandable.
Lots of people baled Saturday mid to late afternoon, and I really thought about it but then found that in addition to the storm approaching Springfield today there was an earlier cell that was headed into the KC area, which was a sure thing to hit last night. I decided to go ahead and stay over, taking a chance on getting out ahead of the rain by leaving at first light but no joy. It was drizzly as I left, and I was on wet roads, and in varying degrees of rain for the whole trip back. I finally hit drying roads five miles from the house, but in the past couple of hours it's started drizzling here again. On a good note, the car did great, cruising back in the light traffic this morning 70 to 75mph all the way. Haven't checked the mileage, but I'm pretty sure it was a little north of 16mpg based on miles & gas guage guessing. I really enjoyed hooking up with Duane & Scott from N&N on Saturday morning, visiting with them and some of their friends from the area around Belleville, AR - great people!
Matt, that was me that honked out on the highway about 7:45am.....Last edited by rspears; 05-24-2015 at 01:41 PM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

A man was watching his wife as she prepared to fry sausages in a pan. He noticed that before placing the sausages in the pan, she always cut off both ends, threw them away, and cooked only the middle...
