Thanks Glenn. I probably won't be buying anything, but I'd like to document the early cars.

I'm a big cadillac guy, just helped a buddy of mine locate a 1972 Caribou (factory cadillac el camino), that armored car is kick ass. It was listed on Ebay with a buy it now of $100K, I emailed and asked for history, none was given. That thing looks unbelievably sound for sitting in a field for umpteen years, I'd love to have it. I'd like to see what it goes for and I'd love to see somebody save it. Flower car is cool to but it looks pretty gone. Also dig that panel van, looks pretty solid.

The Lincoln looks like something made for a movie. Maybe some superhero car?, i would'nt mind that camino

Just an update. I went up there yesterday for the preview. The 2 most interesting cars were the armored car and the custom Lincoln. The armored car was still very solid and complete. BIG engine and little tiny seats. I can't imagine what it must have been like to drive that beast. The Lincoln was in terrible shape but it certainly was a very complate custom job when it was done. It's got THREE '57 T-bird hood scoops on it. The interior looks like they used the back seat for the one & only drivers seat and had a huge extension from the dashboard in front of the driver. Headlights went all the way across the grille. Someone put a ton of work into that car!
Most of the cars were too far gone (IMO) for restoration. I saw a pair of old pie crust recap slicks on Chevy wheels in the back of one the vans. I didn't bring my "credentials", so sorry, no more pics. I was able to document the '62 conv and '63 SS conv. The '62 was a nice addition to the data because it was body #32 and VIN#133 from Baltimore (first day of production)!
I think Dog may be going up there today so he might have some more pics later.

I drive by these two cars every day, a couple of days ago this sign went up:



I did not have time to talk to the owners but here is a picture.



The 66 is a four door with a 283 if I remember from a yard sale they had a year or two back. I think the other car is a 50's Buick. The plate stickers expired 15-20 years ago.

Here's is a numbers matching '69 Z/28 that I purchased locally about 4-5 years ago. It affectionately was titled...
