New car show.....

[46er]

The first aid squad in the town next to us is holding their first car show this Saturday. Thought I'd post this in case anyone might be interested in attending. I will try to be there if I can get one of the cars running Show is in Ocean Gate, info at the link.

I stopped by this show later in the day, they had a pretty good turnout with a few interesting cars; a Ford GT, GT500 convertible, a very nice kit Cobra and some very nice customs. I found a TD and a nice red TR-3, but their owners were no where to be found so I do not know if they were PEDC members. Hopefully, it will return next year.

It must have been after 3 that you stopped by, as Peter Richardson (white TR6) and myself (green TR8) were there from 12:00 to 3:00. The "TD" (if it's the one I saw) was actually a Fiberfab kit car, as was the "Mercedes SS". I didn't see a TR3 so either he came late or it got past me.

It was a nice show and the First Aid Squad must mave been both gratified and panic striken at the healthy turnout for this first time event. The only criticism I would offer is the way the cars were grouped, by era rather than marque or class. Classes were 1942-1951, 1952-1961, 1962-1971, etc, which left little foreign cars like ours in an enormous American Mscle Car class, which likely made up 30-40% of the cars there. Since I never expect to win a show, that didn't matter so much to me.

Food service was good and quite cheap, with a cup of chili and a soda setting me back only $2.50. In all, a good first effort and I'd surely consider going back next year.

It was after 3 that I got over there. Spent the early afternoon trying to remove a broken stud, and time just flies when your having fun. They had a great day for it.
