Unfortunately I think they should be called "Chevy Craft".

I was hoping I might have caught pictures of my buddies cars that were up there. Here are a couple pictures of each from this past weekend. Both were up there all weekend.

^ there is my Photo album. I was with the Impala Club. Mines a little under the weather so I rode with my friend Scott in his Roadmaster (Used to be my Roadmaster)

Disclaimer: Don't mind all the pics of that 75 caddy. It was a low mileage original so I took reference photos for my restoration.

I go to this show every year and have always had a blast. This year was even cooler since I brought my Marauder in. I spent probably 20 hours detailing the car, two hours driving there, seven hours at the show, and 4 hours driving back (got lost).

It was $45 to get in, one full tank of gas, lunch for two (x2), and a couple of t-shirts.

On the way back I got caught in a storm that had people pulling off I-90. I should have been one of them since the car was hydroplanning pretty good and the wipers couldn't keep up. Made it home in one peice but my driveway was washed out and had to leave the Marauder in a haybarn. Spent all day today hauling gravel.

Was it all worth it? Heck yeah!!!

There's 1,500 people in my hometown and probably 30 cool cars. IMO the CC show is better than Christmas, April fools day, and Thanksgiving all rolled into one.

No one has said "hey, cool car!" to me in a year. I heard that 20+ times on Sunday. And not one person asked me where I got my "pimped out" wheels.

"Off-brand" cars or not, the technology is something to see. From the Blown C5 Vette on E-85 (580HP and 26mpg on E-85 and 29mpg on 91!!) to good old Yankee enginuity (Pontiac V-6 in a CRX and box end wrenches used as battery hold downs) it's all good.
