Fair enough, Ray. I guess I learned something there. Sorry if I woke up a bit snarky today.

I envy those for whom this is a top concern.

Many thanks to cutlasguy for posting. I was there as a judge and, as others have reported, got a better view of the show cars from these photos than from my actual attendance. When the rain came, it came in buckets!

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but can say there was no mention of the event in the June Speedster electronic newsletter where these things are usually announced.

Ultimately only you can answer. However, it's well known that a '53 Stude Starlight Coupe can need a whole lot more [body]work than immediately meets the eye.

I prefer that simple Victoria over the "basket handle" Crown Vic shown below. Popular taste seems to differ with me though.

Terrific post, thank you! Would you say you have the pre-eminent Cole collection in existence? Or are there rivals?

They look great, but are by no means exhilarating to drive.

So, are you driving the goat back or trailering?

Well about time to join the 21st century!

Wishing you speedy recovery, Steve, with gratitude for all that you do.

I'd drive it over a cliff before I'd do that.

Well observed. I don't like them on the sedans either. Also, I don't think they are "necessary" to make the Club Coupe look good. It shines either way, but the skirts tend to accentuate its slightly more rakish lines.

To my eye, they look just right on a Shoebox Ford coupe.
