When automakers were king..

Thought I would post this link here for you car enthusiasts.

If you think about it at one time they were the Kings. Sad where it is now because it will never be like the past.

My fondest memories with my Father. Every year we would go to them all for the new model previews. Still remember the Studebaker Avanti in Gold to this day. Free food, free prizes and more.

Thank you Dad. (RIP)

Enjoy.

I'm sitting here thinking of Dad and the fun we had. I remember so many of these cars from my childhood.

Wow you dudes are old....

There is a car club here in VA Beach that meets every Saturday evening during the summer. Many of the guys have restored cars like the ones in the link, man they look great.
