Here is the flyer….

I saw the ad for it. @The Rebel are you going again this year? @Fran Blacker, @Moms68, @rich hourigan, @Ron_M ?? I mentioned it to my stepdad and he says “f that” because he did not like how they ran things with it being an invitational concours type show, but I may go and check it out in my daily driver.

 

[The Rebel]

I'm not going, too far away for me.

I may go, looks like the weather will be decent. My car is a driver, so none of that judging crap for this guy!!

 

[Moms68]

I won't be bringing my car to this. I spoke with the guy that's running it and it's more of a concourse d'elegance type (suits/ ties, etc.) show. If your car isn't entered to be judged then you park with the spectators. Too high brow for me but maybe we can meet up at another show,

 

[Ron_M]

Thanks Moms68 for the clarification. There was a similar event in Wethersfield years ago. Kind of a crazy approach for one brand on a local scale with such short notice IMHO.
That flyer is waayy too busy.
I miss when NEMM ran the event.
Going to pass on this one.

And thats the exact reason my stepdad does not want to go. We may go to a tractor show instead anyways

This show was much better when it was in Vernon. They now have limited show space and at least half of it was taken up by new Challengers and Chargers. A guy had a microphone talking about the "restoration" of his Challenger Demon 170. I will not be back next year.

Like half of these Mopar shows now

How do you do that?

Did you get any pictures by chance or were you too disgusted to take any?

 

[CTMopar]

There was a DJ type guy announcing what each car was as they entered kind of parade fashion. The guy parked the car in front of the DJ got out and took the microphone.

The only pic I took was of a Challenger because my wife wants one. I didn't stay long.

 

[Moms68]

I took my Vette to jets and vettes at the NE Air Museum. 90% of the cars there were 2005 and newer. Most were the new mid engine C8’s. Like all of you I didn’t stay long, but the ride home was fun!
