Aaron65 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I also attended yesterday, and I was really glad to see a good turnout after the whole Motor Muster mess earlier this year. Yesterday was a great show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was a GREAT SHOW. We had never stayed for the gas light parade in the evening. That was fun to watch.

95Cardinal Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Larry Schramm was giving rides in his 1915 Buick truck and my wife patiently waited for her turn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It was a great turn out. I was told that there were about 550 registered cars and about 90 high wheel / vintage bicycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 WOW ! From the point of view of a Senior Citizen who was fascinated and in love with old cars as a little kid in the '40s , it is a sheer joy to see a gathering of old cars , and nothing but old cars. O.K. Old pedal power too. Funny , in that immediatly after WW2 period , at least on the streets and alleys of our neighborhood in Chicago , some commerce took place behind one horsepower hay burners. As I seem to remember , they had a very different type of exhaust from any of the cars at the time. Whether old or new. Happily getting older by the day , - Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even left some "exhaust" around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks for the good news Andy ! ? And thank you so much for all the pictures ! Authenticity. Originality. Now seriously , it is all kinds of period feedback which enhance the experience. Horse = period total immersion ! ? - Carl Well , O.K. Here are a couple of rescued horses out at the ranch , putting on weight and getting healthy on 150 acres. Plenty of exhaust out here. - CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsmith90 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Old post, but I was one of the guys who restored that DeTamble at Dale Adams Enterprises. That was a very fun project. I spent a lot of time painting, blending, and buffing out the striping. I'm glad to see pictures of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
