Announcing Special Guests at MCAN 2014

[bashton]

As I often say, the cars are what bring us together, but it is the <span style="font-style: italic">people</span> that really make the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show what it is.

Over the years, we have played host to some true icons of our hobby, and again in 2014, we continue this tradition. No wrestlers or other non car related people, just real-deal people that share our passion!
(of course, this list is in addition to Charley Lillard! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/CharleySucks.gif[/img] )

<span style="font-weight: bold">Jim Wangers; the Godfather of the GTO;</span> Joining us to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the GTO, Jim will be sitting right in front of Tenney Fairchild's Car and Driver 1964 GTO, and will be surrounded by some of the finest 1964-1974 GTO's ever gathered under one roof. Sponsored by Ride On Appraisals.

<span style="font-weight: bold">The Golden Commando's Race Team;</span> This will be fun! Members of the original Golden Commando's Race Team will be joining us in our Hemi 50th Anniversary display, Sponsored by Magnum Auto Restoration. We are finalizing details now, so stay tuned for a list of attendees.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Norwood Retiree Ambassadors; </span> This will be another fun one! Meet some of the folks that were directly involved with some of our favorite Muscle Cars. Meet employees and members of management who will share stories and tell you how it really was back in the day. Special thanks go out to Phil Borris for coordinating this.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Dennis Pittsenbarger;</span> Dennis has served as our Official EmCee for several years now and we are honored to have him joining us again this year. Hopefully you have seen Dennis' brand new show on The Discovery Channel, Highway To Sell.<span style="font-style: italic"> If you haven't, check it out on Monday nights,</span> and meet Dennis at the show, if you haven't already!

We will be announcing others soon, and don't forget, Charley will also be available for autograph's. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

And let's not forget the music!

Saturday; Redline 7000 featuring John Kraman of Mecum Auction fame. Nothing better than car guys that know how to rock! Pure clean fun.

Sunday; Chicago bluesmaster Marty &quot;Big Dog&quot; Mercer. I guarantee, you will be blown away by Marty and his band, kicking off at 2:00 before the awards presentation.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce the Norwood Assembly Ambassadors to everyone... The experience of meeting these guys is an encounter with the &quot;living past&quot;.

Unlike &quot;history&quot; (which is a matter of record after the passing of individuals who lived it)- we still have the chance to interact with people who can provide a unique and specific perspective on what it was like to operate a primary GM Assembly facility. Be sure to stop by and say Hi, and take them over to see your car. They will likely point things out that will surprise you and in most cases they will provide an interesting back story to the build too.

And for the Ford fans out there...I am pleased to announce <span style="font-style: italic">Ohio George Montgomery</span> will be joining us!

Ohio George is a true Drag Racing Legend, and he will be sitting right by his 1969 Boss 429 Mustang Drag Racer that has been restored to perfection, along with a whole group of truly outstanding Boss 9's from 1969 and 1970. Looks like we will also have at least one of each of the available colors on display.

Special Thanks go out to Bob Perkins for making this happen, along with assistance from Shelby aficionado's and MCACN Judges Jim Cunningham and Rick Campbell, and of course all of the owners that will be joining us. More MCACN history in the making!
