Brothers Collection 1st Annual Cruise In

[tom406]

My friend and I had a great day trip. 3.5 hours from Seattle to Salem, 4.5 hours back. The show itself was well organized, as alluded to above. Parking and logistics were a breeze. The collection is overwhelming. It’s kind of like an automotive Versailles, just so much that you get a little numb. The Shelby Cobra display was awesome and well done with storyboards and easy identification signs on each car. I expected the Corvette display but was surprised by the line of six L88’s. I was expecting the line of half the Trans Am ragtop population, but it’s still staggering to see. The lines of Hemi cars with Hemi E Body ragtops on tilted pedestals were impressive as well. I recognized many significant cars that I’ve tracked in the past, and as a Hipo Ford fan, the row of R code Galaxies and Fairlanes was quite a thing to see. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen pairs of ‘65, ‘66, and ‘67 R code Galaxies in the same place before.
