Autorama this weekend at Cobo?

Yep, my friend Chris's car will be there, black '69 vert with blue ghost flames. I'll be there, not sure when...my daughter has a hockey tournament all weekend.

If there's going to be a black 69 with ghost flames there I'll have to check that out.

Vikki,

I saw that car last summer at Gibralter Trade Center, as always it was the only FGF there.

The fam and I are planning on going Sunday. I have a friend that will have his '67 plum mist there.

Chris gets out to quite a few shows. And he's a very sociable guy, a great ambassador for FGFs.

Yeah that's the car alright!!! The hood was up when I first walked by so I didn't notice the flames until I walked around the back.

There's another guy that I see at all the shows with a grey '69 400 vert that appears to be completely stock with the exception of a TA spooiler. Do you know him?

Yep, the silver...that's Mark.

I like that color!

There is also Bill, with a T.A. convertible clone; George, with a yellow '68 convertible; Kevin and his Carousel Red '69 convertible, my '69 convertible, Ralph and his red '68 convertible, along with a couple more "occasionals"...and this summer, your '69 convertible...I think we can make a pretty good show wherever we go.

Nice!!!

I think I met Bill at the Packard Proving Grounds last summer the same day as the Metro Beach car show. Does his car have a 428 in it?

I thought it was a 455...either way it's a beauty.

I had my car at the Carnival of Cars, I do the website for the show.

Maybe it was a 455, all I know it was pretty impressive when he pulled out onto Van Dyke. Is carnival of Cars the show at Packard? If so I got there late, hence seeing Bill leave.

The first time I saw ghost flames was twenty five years ago. It was during the Good Guys show here in Columbus. A hot rod, I can't remember what pulled into the Sohio where I was working. It was dark green, and under the pump canopy you couldn't see the flames. But as soon as he pulled out in the full sun there they were. I was cought drooling.

I’d love to come up for the show, but James (ja67bird) may be coming this way to get all the stuff I have for him. Plus with being sick last week, things got put on the back burner. Time to catch up.

I’d love to see the new Camaro and give the GM reps a thought or two.

Tom,

There's not an Autorama in Columbus? I thought every big city had it?

The new Camaro is great, we had one at work a few weeks back.

Yes, Carnival of Cars is the show at the Packard Proving Grounds (or what's left of them).

Autorama is geared toward rods, customs and classics; the Auto Show is for the new cars. http://www.autorama.com/casi/detroit.htm

Brad, yes cow town has the Auto Show but not Autorama. The big event is the Good Guys Car Show in the summer at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The Hotels and streets are filled with rods, customs and muscle cars. It's wimpy compared to the Dream Cruse in your fair city. Which by the way I landed one of my vacation weeks on. So this year I'll be up early (Thursday/Friday) if I can get my convertible rolling. If not I'll bring the cammer again.

I'll be there with Jim Mattison...number is 313-409-9503 Call me when you get there. I'll have passes waiting.

Does Jim still do the Potiac car part there or was that just the one year I went?

Tom (Banshee),

I plan on going down to Cobo on Sunday, are you gonna be there?

Jenny (my daughter) and I will be down Sunday afternoon.

Great Vikki, hopefully I will see you there. I will be with my 1 year old daughter Sam and my wife.

Be there on Saturday.
Usually stay there to about 5 or 6 then take the People Mover over to Greek Town for a couple hours.

How can you beat a day of cars and Blackjack!!

Greektown will be my move after the show also, but since I will be with my family I will have to stick with just having dinner.

If anyone is going there today, Sunday..give me a call..would be nice to meet a few members.

I'll be hanging out by the Plum Mist 67 RA Firebird from 10 am until close.

I counted 7 FGFs, did I miss any?

I took pics of all I saw, I'll count later and post a few.

Hopefully mine will be there in 09.

08 if I get off my can and sell what I don't need, stay off the internet and focus.

Jim's '67 got 2nd place in his class, it was beat out by a Mustang
