Good morning Kevin

Maybe I will take my 31 to this show. We can meet up once again

Tom

Sounds good. I was looking at taking the car out today, but alas...nothing on the schedule today.

Just a reminder that this show is tomorrow. If you are in the Chicagoland area, please stop on by.

Very nice turn out on a warm June day here in Chicagoland. Very eclectic mix of cars for local car show. There was an Auburn, a few Piece Arrows, a smattering of Packards, a gaggle of Studes, a couple of Crosleys and even a car from behind the Iron Curtain. Tom Malas won a 3rd place best of show trophy for his '31 Packard (pic below). I didn't take pics of all the muscle cars but took pics of all the earlier stuff.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the report Kev and for the many photos. While it's congratulations to Tom on his success.

There's also a Nash and a Hupmobile mixed in there. Probably one of the best mixture of cars I've seen at a car show in a long time.

Kev,

It was nice meeting up with you and Dez once again and getting to see your car in person. You did a wonderful job restoring rusty.

It sure was a beautiful day. I am not one for taking pictures at shows so thanks for sharing your pics with us.

We shall meet again.

Tom

Thanks for the pictures!
Wes

Hi Kev

Thanks for the great pictures, what a fine variety of cars you had to enjoy. Much better than many shows here in Western New York beset with mostly performance-rods and muscle cars.

Congratulations to Tom for his award and good on you Kev for showing how good and appealing the late Packards are.

Of the rarities, in addition to the '29 Hupmobile and '37-'38 Nash Ambassador coupe, that red '61 Chrysler New Yorker convertible is a very scarce, low-production car.
