Having had both of my cars in the last two years in Ralphs Feature at Frank Maratta's
Auto show, I can tell you that it is a very interesting thing from the drop off of the cars, til the next afternoon for the start up of the show when everything suddenly becomes decorated and bright!!

There is plenty to do, watch, eat............(best beef jerky around available), as well as a plethura
of fine stock, muscle custom, strange and just plain rare automobiles..........last year, a one off Tucker N.O.S. and get this, it was not assembly line produced. Family members rounded the parts and made #51 or 52, I can't remember exactly.

Saturday evening has a special feature curated by Sharleen's father and helpers..........A full blown chinese menu and you order whatever you want. Lots of pictures are sure to accompany the show..............
Its a pretty nice place to bring your car..........

The closing day is fun also with trophy show & reduced rate hotdogs and hamburgers...........sweeeeeeeeet. Don't go home without the Beef Jerky and
the address to purchase more during the year............

Scott and I had the oppurtunity to attend and bring both of our cars last year. It was quite the experience being part of the show from start to finish. Growing up I always pictured in my mind what it would be like having a car in this well known Connecticut indoor car show. Well it was more than I expected. Had a great time despite the snow squall loading the car after the show ended last year on Sunday evening. This year we both will be there (without cars) to help support you guys. Looking foreward to Saturday nights dinner menu!!!!
:hungry See all of you there, unfortunalty we could not make the Christmas Party.

Well, this is a 100% stock 396/ 325HP , BorgWarnerHD 3 speed floor shift, 3.31 one legger, bench seat car.
It's 100%'s matching and loaded with doc's. I know the cars history right back to the order date, delivery date, when it had it's first oil change,water pump replaced etc... very cool stuff.
I have a nice book of copies of all the paperwork which I'll have at the show.

Here's a few more pic's.
