This 71 Charger is powered by a blown 540. It sounded pretty good when it was fired up. I believe this car was at MCACN in '19. T. Carlson had this car at the show.

This Bright Red 70 Challenger is a factory Hemi car. The owner's wife said he took her to the prom in this car. It was his dad's car at the time. J. Mott had this car at the show.

This Bright Red 71 Challenger convertible is a 383 car that was purchased new at Mansfield Motors in Richwood WV. This is a factory Shaker hood car. The R/T option was not available on the convertible in '71 so this is just a plain Challenger with sport stripes. This car was restored by The Finer Details and was at MCACN in '18 where it was a Concours Gold winner with 999 points and a Platinum Dodge winner. It was featured in the September '19 issue of Mopar Collector's Guide. L. Playmale had this car at the show.

This Black 71 Challenger R/T is a 383 car with V6V orange stripes. R. Straub had this car at the show.

This Lemon Twist Yellow 70 AAR Cuda is a 4 speed car. M. Williamson had this car at the show.

----I could be wrong, but I believe this LS6 was in the Carl Strohm collection for many years. Carl was a good friend and this car is a beauty. Pity who it belongs to!

----Bill was also at the Eye's on Design at the Edsel Ford estate a week before MCACN. It was good touching base with Bill as I hadn't seen him in a few years at least. Sad, as his wife has passed, but Bill is still cookin along. Same guy I raced back in the early 90's!....Bill S

Yes, I believe you are correct. I think there was a sign with it at Bloomington Gold saying it was previously from the Carl Strohm collection.

I went up to the Red Barns Spectacular at the Gilmore Auto Museum on Saturday. There were only about half as many cars there as usual. It was 90 degrees and very humid so that might have had something to do with it. I only took a handful of pictures. This 56 Bel Air is painted Bizon Orange and Champagne Fizz. It is powered by a 383 with a TH350 and is sitting on a Roadster Shop chassis. H. Schuemann had this car at the show.

This Regimental Red 67 GTO is 1 of 751 factory Ram Air cars and was sold new at the Pontiac Retail Store in Pontiac MI to D. Kloha. This is an original drivetrain and original owner car. It was featured in the June '13 issue of Muscle Car Review and has been at MCACN several times. It won the 60's muscle car class at the show.

This Bright Green Metallic 69 Super Bee A12 was sold new at Hillcrest Dodge in Rochester MN to Dan Brandt. This car has also been at MCACN several times and was featured in Muscle Car Review. B. Kultgen had this car at the show and it placed second to the above GTO.

Here are a few cars from inside the museum. This '08 Buick Model F Five Passenger Touring car is powered by a 2-Cylinder engine producing 22 horsepower.

This '23 Star Model C Touring Car is powered by a 4-cylinder engine producing 33 horsepower. The Star was one of the brands produced by Durant Motors which was founded by Billy Durant in '21 after he was fired by GM. This car was created to compete against the Model T.

This '32 Chevy Deluxe Sport Roadster with a rumble seat is powered by a 194 ci 6-cylinder producing 60 horsepower.

This '33 Stutz DV-32 Monte Carlo by Weymann is powered by a 322ci vertical-8 producing 156 horsepower. The D stands for dual-overhead-camshafts and the V-32 for 32 valves as it has 4 valves per cylinder. This car also has an aluminum body.

This '30 Cadillac V-16 Roadster by Fleetwood has a 452ci engine producing 175 horsepower.

This '31 Cadillac 370A V12 convertible coupe has a 368ci engine producing 135 horsepower.

This '33 Cadillac 370-C Series Twelve Town Sedan is powered by a 368ci V-12 producing 135 horsepower. In the early '30's Cadillac had the 355 Series V-8's, the 370 Series V-12's and the 452 Series V-16's.

This '35 Duesenberg Model JN Berline by Rollston and updated by Bohman & Schwartz is known as the Bojangles Duesenberg. It was purchased new by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson for $17,500 which is roughly equivalent to $300K today. It is powered by a 420ci DOHC 8-cylinder engine producing 265 horsepower. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but this car is Dark Metallic Brown.

This car is a 1932 Chevrolet Cabriolet. It has roll up door windows & a lay down w/s frame. A std feature of the Cabriolet was the rumble seat. This car was built by Fisher body.

The roadster used side curtains & has no door glass. The Roadster was built by Chevrolet Body instead of Fisher Body

I dabble a little into the early 30s Chevrolets :)

It's funny, that little Chevy looks pretty sporty, and those Cadillacs are beautiful, but that Duesenberg is on another level. It looks years ahead of the others. Stunning.

She's a duesy.

This car is a 1931 Chevrolet Landau Phaeton. It was way ahead of it's time & Chevrolet didn't sell many units for the 2 years they were made, 1931 & 1932. This was a full convertable in which all passengers were under roof. All the side windows rolled down & the divisional bar between the side glass was removable. The windshield layed down on the cowl. This car also has an integral trunk. Today hard to find & one of the most expensive cars to restore from the 1931 1932 models because of all the chrome. Even the bows were chrome....Joe

I think it was against the law to produce an ugly car in 1932. EVERYONE seemed to just hit it out of the park that year.

I was going by the sign with the car which I see is obviously wrong. So is this technically a 32 Chevrolet Confederate Deluxe Sport Cabriolet Convertible? From what I could find all 32 Chevrolets were Confederates. The Deluxe had chromed hood ports, cowl lamps and dual side mount spares. The Sport meant it had a rumble seat. Is Cabriolet just another name for Convertible? I found the difference between a Roadster and a Convertible was what was mentioned above.

That's quite a little research...eh? :)
Good job....Joe

I plan to be at MCACN on Saturday and Sunday taking pictures of my favorite cars there so if you see a guy with a camera taking pictures of your car and writing down notes it may be me. I'll try to post my pictures on here before Thanksgiving. Have a safe trip and hopefully I'll see some of you guys there.

----A buddy of mine on Cape Cod restored one of these 32 roadsters in roughly 1972-3. The thing was a piece of artwork. Got restored for Len Immke who owned the biggest buick dealer in the world in Columbus OH. He had a huge collection at one point....Bill S

Here are my photographs from the '22 MCACN Show. I'll post them over the next day or two with a little commentary on each car. If anyone has any additional information on any of the cars feel free to post it. I'll start with some Corvettes from the Triple Diamond Display. This Arctic Blue 57 Corvette is 283 horse fuelie with a 4 speed. There were 756 Code 579B & E fuelies built in '57 and there were 664 Corvettes built with 4 speeds. The 4 speed wasn't available until later in the year. A. Applegate had this car at the show.

This Panama Yellow 58 Corvette is a 290 horse fuelie with 4.11 gears and the RPO 684 Heavy-Duty Brake option. It was also ordered without a radio or a heater and only a hardtop. There were 1,007 code 579D fuelies built in '58 and 144 Corvettes with the RPO 684 option. This car was raced by Ralph Haun in Southern California Timing Association events early in its life. G. Horton had this car at the show.

This Cascade Green 60 Corvette is a 245 horse dual quad car with a Powerglide. There were 1,211 245 horse Corvettes built in '60 and 1,766 Corvettes with Powerglides. This car is also a NCRS Duntov winner. T. Duncan had this car at the show. I believe this is the same car that K. McClain had at the show in '09.

This Glen Green 65 Corvette is a 350 horse 327 car. This was the first year for the L79 in the Corvette and there were 4,716 built. They were all 4 speed cars. K. Seigfried had this car at the show.

This Tuxedo Black 65 Corvette is a 375 horse fuelie. This was the last year for the fuel injected Corvettes and there were only 711 built. They were replaced midyear with the L78 big blocks. This car is a NCRS Duntov winner. W. Kunz had this car at the show.

This Goldwood Yellow 65 Corvette is 1 of 2,157 L78 Corvettes built in '65. The L78 wasn't available until midway through the year and was the only big block available in '65 in the Corvette. L. Sachs had this car at the show.

This Sunfire Yellow 67 Corvette is 1 of 6,375 L79 Corvettes built in '67 and according to the window sticker was sold new at Marv Minneman Inc. in Youngstown OH. This was the last year for the aluminum intake and Holley carburetor on the L79. J. Camodeca had this car at the show.

This Ermine White 67 Corvette is a 435 horse car. This was the first year for the L71 and there were 3,754 built. The license plate on this car said BIGBRAKE so I am guessing this is 1 of 267 RPO J56 Heavy-Duty Brake cars built in '67. L. Sachs had this car at the show.

This Sunfire Yellow 67 Corvette is a L71 car that according to the window sticker was sold new at Gates Chevrolet in Mishawaka IN. R. Froman had this car at the show.
