Eyes on Design - 2009
 
The Eyes on Design show at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford home on Lake St. Claire had a lot of really great cars and bikes. Willie G. rode in with a convoy of Harleys. The station wagon display brought back memories of the 63 Galaxy wagon my parents had. A great cause and great people.

I didn't even know the show was judged until I got there so this was quite a surprise:

Great photos, thanks for sharing...looks like it was a cool event!!

Maybe next time they'll mow the grass first...that looks like the rough at the US Open https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

I agree! There's some awesome metal there https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Some neat plastic, too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I really love those four-door hardtop, pillar-less station wagons.

The silver 65 vette looks like my old car. Mine was a 300 hp with auto and air. Nice. Ron...

That was my favorite show in the area when I lived there. One show had a set where they had one Mercury from every year since 1939. What other themes did they have this year besides station wagons? I would LOVE to see more pics!

------The 67 400 Bird is Jim Mattisons. Your silver 65 was the nicest Vette there as far as I am concerned.......Bill S

Sam, thanks, I guess clay barring and putting the wheel to her helped out quite a bit. Ron, my car is from Kansas, 365hp with TI but with the humidity on Sunday, having A/C like your car would have been great. I think each area of the show field has a different theme, don't know what they all were but I do know that Harley Davidson was the featured marque. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

They cut the grass after the event. Reason being the venue is on the National Historic Registry and they do not want the grass damaged from the vehicles. Or so I was told last year. Glad you guys got good weather, last year the place was evacuated due to a T storm.

Ever been to a car show were they had just cut the grass? Tracks inside the cars....pain in the ass. Happens at our races, too. That is a gorgeous mansion. We used to take our puppies there for the annual SPCA "Mutt March". Also a lot of fun.

That really is THE best show around. Love those big Pontiacs, but appears the 57 Fiesta wagon has his priorities in order... my kind of man....

Meadowbrook may have more street cred, but Eyes is tops in my book. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The real star of the show is Edsels house.

The wagons are the best collection I've seen in the same place. Very cool, thanks for posting! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
