Well,
Jack and Mary Ann are on the road to meet the visitors to our site at car shows across the country
, and the
Syracuse Nats was their first stop. From what we heard from
them, they're having a great time. We got back a ton of great pictures and
commentary of their adventures. So, buckle up your seat belt and prepare for
a cross country trip with us�
We didn't think that Bob McLean,
Bob O'Conner and the crew at the Syracuse Nats could outdo last years show...but
we were wrong...This year the show was even better. More cars,
more vendors and lots of great people!! The final count for cars was 5840 entries and over 40,000
visitors to the show. WOW !
As usual,
our trip to the show also involves "scouting" along the roads and highways for
treasure. Out west you can spot that glint of the sun hitting a
windshield pretty easily and jump off the highway to investigate...

This isn't a rod picture. But in Wyoming while scanning the horizon for cars, we saw an Ultralite aircraft that was coming down with his parachute out...Not fun!

We ran into
a little rain and road construction that put a damper on the hunt,
then by the time we got into Indiana we were either on a turnpike or
toll road which made it tough to jump off when we spotted cars that looked
interesting. We were limited to what we saw at the service areas.

We saw this
outfit in a service area near Elkhart, Indiana. Don't know who it was...but
what a way to travel!!

This is the
first rod we saw that was actually headed to the Syracuse show. W passed this '32 Ford
on I-90 near Clifton Springs, NY. On Saturday they stopped by our booth so
we could tell you who was driving that '32. It was Greg Schickler from Churchville, NY.
