Here is a sampling of pics from around the Carlisle All Fords Event. I took 335 pics and it is difficult to select just a few ... so here goes. Everyone who attended had a blast. It's great to get together with the MM Family. Thanks to all who worked on all the arrangements and a big thanks to all who attended this historic event. As of Noon on Saturday, there were 2,848 cars on the showfield (a record for All Fords). There were 49 Marauders on the Mountain (also a record for Carlisle). :2thumbs:

Great pics. Seeing so many Mustangs, particularly all those red ones, makes me glad to have something unique.

The Brewsters. This is a 1934 Brewster on a Ford V8 Roadster chassis (only 135 built)
Earlier models were on Delaunay-Belleville chassis and afterward on Rolls-Royce chassis.
Brewster was an American Coach builder 1810-1937 noted for opulent and expensive coaches.
The Brewster plant was located in Long Island City, NY. The Great Depression hit them hard and
the company eventually folded in 1937. 3 of the 135 Ford connected Brewster were on display at
Building "G" (2 coach limos and 1 convertible).

TRIVIA --- "You're the top! You're a Ritz hot toddy. You're the top! You're a Brewster body." The coachbuilder was immortalized in the Cole Porter song, "You're the Top" and is the only American to ever win the Gold Medal at the Paris International Exposition, a gathering of Europe's finest coachbuilders.

Great pics Charlie! Can't believe I pick the Monday AFTER Carlisle to check back in...missed it again! :(

So much bigger; but some of the same faces!

Of all the changes, to see a blower on top of Blackened's powerplant...JEEZ! What is this madness ;)

Hi Jonathan. You and Marcela were spoken of fondly and very much missed at Carlisle. Weather was picture perfect, Marauder Mountain was full!

Aww...thankya...though no more me and Marcela :o...just one of those things bad or good depending on how
one looks at it.

Great memories and more to make once life gets out of my way (or vice versa).

Glad everyone had a good time. I will be back. And I'll try not to bring the rain.

Best,
Jonathan

Hey Buddy.
You been gone for a while! The right deal came along and a few months later of gathering parts, I ended up with a 450rwhp marauder. ;)

How have you been? Sorry to hear about the relationship status.

If you are still undecided about coming out to the Carlisle "All Ford Nationals" this year, just check out some of the pics from last year's 2014 events. It was a great turnout overall and in all classes of Ford Vehicles. Don't miss it ... :D
