Thoughts from the Inaugural MCACN

[gwawa]

I have to say that this show was the best blend of muscle cars I have seen in any Chicago venue. I don't know how you top this one, but I sure look forward to next year. The Ashtons and the sponsors did a great job presenting their product.

I had more fun this year than I've had at the last 4 CVF.
A great display of a lot of the best cars in the country.

[Schonyenko2]

I agree with all of the above. This had to be one of the best gatherings of fine/rare muscle cars ever.
Mr. Aston and the folks involved did a great job.
Two thumbs up gentlemen.

Oh yeah, Mr. Ashton, please tell the folks at the Double tree that they have our sincere thanks for letting us all use (take over) the lounge again for the annual festivities.
I believe it was a good time had by all, anyway those who can remember.

Thanks to everyone that brought their cool cars. Without the cars we wouldn't have much. I think we did great for the first time out. Virtually everyone I talked to was amazed at the collection of cars. Yes there was understandable crankiness about move in but all that was forgotten by mid Saturday when everyone had figured out just how special of a show they were part of. I want that 65 Chevy truck with the 409...arrgh....

Charley's Pick of the Show.











This guy kinda looked familiar.





It was REALLY good to see our old friend Bob again. We walked around together for a while and looked at some cool cars. We miss you my friend.

Charley,

That is definitely one incredible vehicle. We gave it the National Nostalgic Nova club choice award at MCACN ( by a landslide!). I always knew you had good taste!

Wow! I missed Gags! Bob sorry I missed you, Hope all is well!

My take on the show....

My opinion is that the show was indeed a huge success, I believe that next year will even be even Bigger and Better! Why? Because all of the non-chevy participants that might have been skeptical to bring out there really "Good Stuuf" are no longer skeptical.

They wanted to come in person....without there cars and see the show for themself. Now that they have seen it, and love the atmosphere they will come. Bob Ashton you better get a better, stronger cell phone battery. Great Job Bob Ashton and Crew.

Bob, Thanks for getting in the Black BM 1969 Chevelle in at the very last minute. This meant a lot to my client John.

Dan.

And it sure was nice of someone to bring a milk crate for 'the little fella' so he could see into the engine compartment.

Interesting hodge podge of parts, there...but a "Custom Camper" woulda been a 3/4 ton long bed (for a slide in a camper, hence the name)...and the mid '65 introduced 327 woulda been the largest engine possible (the 305 v-6 was considered the HD engine). Hard to tell, but looks like 1/2 ton wheels (3/4s used 16" split rims, iirc)...

Regardless, still a great looking truck, though, in one of *the* sexiest trucks ever built...
