Per the '65 409, I appreciate that the car came for display and is certainly an original 409 car. I talked to Verne at the show and he was in no way derogatory about the car. However, given the fact that his name is associated with the display and the fact that the signage on that '65 409 is VERY misleading (it really implies that its a numbers matching 425hp car), I wouldn't have blamed him for being defensive about its presentation. Speaking of the 409 display, special thanks to Chris P (SIR VIVOR) for generously taking the time to chat with me about his spectacular 380hp Bel Air while chasing his young child around.

Bruce,
Great pics,as usual. Sorry we didn't get to talk other than passing hellos.
You took some nice pics of the 70's I had in the ballroom as well as the gold car in barn find room. I never seem to get to see much of the cars at the show but your pics help to see what I usually miss due to judging in the Vintage area. So for that I thank you.
Chris

Chris, you are always busy! We can catch up another time [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

From past experience working trade shows, If you are part of a show, you never really get to see a lot of what's happening. Thanks for all that you do for this show, too!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Charley Lillard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Verne.. Please don't insinuate that the 65 that was part of the display is no longer a real 409 car. It might not be modified to your liking but it is still a neat and very real 409.</div></div>

Charley, was this car judged? I know Verne didn't really have a chance to look at the car beforehand and pre 65 is his specialty. There are some things with the docs I noticed that are a cause for concern. The signage is a little confusing. One sign states it's a numbers matching 425hp car and the docs state it's a 340HP car. Do you know the history of the car? Wish I could have been there to see it in person.

Thanks for the great pics. Had to work in our cold steel mill, 28 degrees here. I will be here Thanksgiving and Christmas. Have to keep the trains supplied with wheels and axles. Like to come sometime.

Thank you Bruce!!

This takes such dedication to put the time to take all the pictures, and to add so much commentary is really over the top!!

We appreciate it very much!!
