I have a few to post too.

Upload your pics to a remote server like photobucket.com and cut & paste the links directly with your response. Do not attach them as thumbnails.

Paul, we went to the show last Friday, and just a warning, the show is VERY toned down this year. I read that due to the government bailouts, the manufacturers felt it would be bad for public relations to have extravagant displays (paid for by the taxpayers).

I took over 150 pics (aren't digital cameras great?), and several shots overlooking entire displays. Most of the GM displays are just cars sitting on carpeting. They said the theme this year was not smoke-and-mirrors, technology, or showcasing concept cehicles. The focus is on just trying to sell cars.

Don't miss:

- The area adjacent to the entrance (look on the map) that has the history of the auto show. Great pictures!
- The ZR-1 Corvette (on the floor)
- The 2010 Camaros (on the floor)
- Chevy Volt (display)
- Corvette Sideswipe Stingray (turntable) - just beautiful!
- Dodge Challengers (turntable and some on the floor), and the Mr. Norm Challenger (on the floor)
- A really cool looking Nissan GT-R, silver/black (display)
- A wicked looking Mercedes SL65 Hammer (on the floor)

I'll wait until AFTER the auto show to open up my photo account for all to see. Didn't want to ruin it for anyone by posting pics too soon....

Thanks Mike. I kinda figured this would not a be a normal show. Nonetheless, I get to look at cars for a while so its all good. Any vendors there?? Usually they are upstairs. I always manage to get die cast or two out of them.

These pics really bring back memories. I grew up in Bolivar, Mo and the 64 GTO that has Dave Goldsberry written on the side of it was one I remember. Dave was a local legend for his fast cars, and this 64 was no exception. It was a maroon with white interior car and was quick. I do know it did not last long on the street, as the car got totaled out and I remember going to look at it behind the local Pontiac dealer and it was totaled almost beyond recognition. Dave survived to become a great dirt track racer as well.

’74 Chevelle hi jack:

Looks like the guy with the Ford wagon at the motel was a little upset with the Citroen's parking skills.

Thanks for the ride backin time Keith. I know 2 of your photos... 1000 Animals in Lake Placid. And that dam road heading out to the Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges. LOL I hated that highway.

And it was great to see a Motion Camaro on the street.

Here are a few more, from the Yenko "Street Scenes" thread:

















Check out the vehicle brands in this pic: Studebaker, Packard, Willys, Chrysler, Plymouth. I suppose technically none of these names are still in business:









Am I the only one that finds this picture funny? The addition of the words "frankfurter" and "simply add boiling water" are ironic to me:

Is this an out take from the movie "Joe Dirt"?
Holy Cow! What a Mullett!, Looks Like a Cross between Billy Ray Cyrus & Ed McMahon
with that tux on.....WOW!

I always wondered why people called Transd Am's "Mullett Mobiles"
And Mullets "The Trans Am Trim"......Guess Now I know Why.

Neat Photo though, I think the round decal on the B pillar was only installed on
the Indy Pace Cars that were actually present at the race track for the
Indy 500, kinda cool, I guess.....Except for the Hair do & Threads
