NYS Fairgrounds, Syracuse, NYSaturday, July 21, 2012
Saturday, July 21, 2012...6:00 A.M. - Time to hit the shower and then head down to the comlimentary breakfast; Best freebee breakfast We've ever had at a motel! Off to the show and more miles of dreamin' and picture taking. Checked out the Model Car Show and the Gene Winfield Picks; Talked with Gene for a little bit and got my yearly picture taken with him again; One of the really great Car Guys!
11:30 A.M. and off to Gianelli's again for another sausage burger, with a twist - Meeting up with our Friend Tom Poremba (another HOTRODHOTLINE Photographer) to exchange stories while filling our faces; Great to visit with him again and we made our plans to meet at the Adirondack Nationals at Lake George, New York in September; We'll probably have to MAKE him have a couple of beers with us there; Believe that tall tale and you'll probably believe anything... Back to taking pictures, seeing some people we've met before at shows (Dave Ciapa & his Wife (Perfect '32 Roadster), Bill Yorker & his Wife (Absurd-According to the license plate Pro-Street Vespa); Met Dave? & and his wife and they let me sit in one of my dream vehicles - a channeled, unchopped Model-A coupe that Dave has had for 50 years, and the Mr. & Mrs.? Owners of Miss Pinky - '34 Chevy Pro Street Coupe. Sorry for NOT remembering names as I met so many people handing out cards and telling people about the Internet's Best WebSite HOTRODHOTLINE; Plus Old Age is making me forgetful. Met up with our Buddy Donnie Allen a couple of times but never did get a picture of his '30 Chevy coupe this time.
3:30 P.M. and both of us said "that's it, you can't see it all, let's get home before dark". Back home at 8:00 P.M. and ready to call it a night. It'll take a couple of days to recoup from the pain fo having fun, but then we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. All in all a great couple of days!!!
Hope you enjoy my pictures Guys, and if you see an Old Polack wearing a HOTRODHOTLINE shirt taking pictures at a NorthEast show, stop me and say Hi and I'll try to get a picture of your car in my event coverage.
Keep on Cruisin', Walt
