i thought the 57 4dr hardtop fuelie was amazing, what did everyone think of the 4 dr impala L72

The wrecked one? Pretty cool they held onto it.

Couple photos

Both cars were amazing!

It is amazing that they kept the vehicle intact and parked it. Me ?? I'd have had the engine out the next day and in a car I could drive, then and now. I couldn't let a legendary engine sit like that and rust away.

The 4 door 57 fuelie is owned by Charlie Lilard...he told me he just bought it last Wednesday and he had it to the show by Saturday.

69
 

The 69 is Leunig’s car, Warren, Steve and Dad

I won a award.

now thats funny

LOL, I can just imagine what the prize was, mop and bucket?!

That’s great, both those four-door muscle cars were amazing to look at. It would be cool to have a four-door and station wagon high horsepower display one year

"Well it's not really that cool of a car"

:cool2:

Ian's not really that cool.....

Here I thought that was the burnout vid!! Imagine my disappointment

I believe Charley told me that 57's a Turboglide?? Any other old fossil here remember those??

Hey Charley,I met you in the Bistro Thursday nite.You are a funny guy.

Must have been Tequila involved..........

Turboglide
 

The shift indicator quadrants are P R N D Gr . Gr was for grade retard only to be used for engine braking on decline ( going downhill ) while under 40 mph . My dad told me most of these were torn up by people using Gr for forward acceleration back in the day . All burnouts should only be completed in D range or transmission damage will occur .

Does anyone have a knowledgeable guess as to how many cars were in the show? Just curious.

I always have a surprise favorite, this year it was the black 70 Cougar Eliminator with the New Jersey tags. Also, glad to see the FAST drag cars.

Bob Ashton stated there were about 560 cars at the show.

he was parked right behind me. we were ass to ass. Neat Eliminator

that is what is cool about this show, the 57 fuelie, the L72 4 door impala and the 65 chevelle. at least 3 cars that you would never believe existed without seeing them in person

How about the SS 454 Chevelle Wagon?

This one.

BITD there was a black one with silver trim around town.

Really?? Seemed like 565 easy LOL

GREAT Show. Cars, Motorcycles, Schwinn Bikes, Good People and Good Weather!!

This years show was one of the most enjoyable MCACN shows I have attended since it's inception. I had our car delivered to the show as well as delivered to the customer afterwards via Reliable which took a HUGE burden off of me and went off without a hitch. They were great and handled it perfectly, were on time and were very friendly. Our ride home in Jim's Mustang did not go near as well but thanks to a GREAT friend who off loaded his 1969 show vette from his trailer, loaded the Mustang and then drove the Vette 170 miles to our place was unbelievable. You cannot buy that kind of friendship.

I only have two suggestions for next year. The singing of our National Anthem was done perfectly by the two gentlemen who sang it. If it was there, I and several others some how missed it. I think we should fly our flag near the wall by the entrance while we sing the song. Just as importantly, I think we should fly the Canadian flag and sing their anthem as well as there were MANY Canadians there and it would have been great to honor them and their country as well. Just a thought and opinion. Great show!

To be honest, to me, it seemed like there were a few less cars then in the past. I know the floor didn't seem as busy with people. I haven't been to every MCACN, but I've only missed a few since my first in 2011.

Still a great weekend, and the first car event I've been to in a long while.

Let's not forget the snowmobiles Mike! They brought back old memories for me!!

Totally agree!! Credit to the Northern Ohio Chevelle Club show, they do sing the Canadian Anthem to include our North of the border friends.

The Rupp 800 Magnum did for me as well. When you drove a Rupp Snowmobile, The 800 Magnum was the ZL-1 Corvette of Snowmobiles, especially if you were driving a 1970 340 Rupp with a one lunger Sacks and you were 14 years old! Great Memories for me as well. What a Show. Bill

As was explained to me by Steve, the cars were spread out further to meet covid guidelines, so it felt less populated. I do agree that there didn't seem to be as many spectators as in the past, but covid is still around and there are restrictions, so some people elected to stay away.

I can't say I ever noticed the snowmobiles...:blush: I had a couple in my younger years, but I am averse to being cold, so that desire didn't last long.

I did walk by the motorcycles, but didn't see anything to really pull me in.
Maybe I should bring my 2000 Springer with 13,000 miles next year for the original owner display..:hmmm:

Here....here....I second that Rick.....eh! A BIG thanks to you and all on this site who do make the effort to include us folks "from the north" and make us feel welcomed.

We may be a small contingency, but we have some kick ass cars.

----Bill,,,Great pic of my 93 Suburban in the backround. People kept asking about the 502 emblems on the grill so often that I left the hood open...LOL!.....Bill S

Thanks for the tour of the engine bay Bill, your Sub is awesome!! Bill W

Me too!

That the guy that bribed the Janitor?

Dang, Rick, I didn't know you were standing behind me. That's me in the black and yellow jacket talking to Kurt and Charley...:smile:
