Yes, a big THANK YOU!!! to George Markos and the others involved in putting on the cruise night and AMC car show again this year.
It was fun talking with other AMC'ers about their rides, and meeting forum members that I have only talked to here on the forum. My wife really enjoyed herself too. (I'm pretty lucky to have a wife who enjoys all this car stuff). The weather for the show was awsome, and the red white and blue was all around! I was hoping that Steve (Bikerfox) would leave his keys in his SC/Rambler, but no dice! (Awsome car Steve!!!) I talked to several people who came up and said they were currently working on AMC projects at home. I'm sure a couple of them will be joining the forum shortly. One guy told me he was from NY. and is currently working on his 70 AMX.
I really enjoyed talking with Mike Pierce (Petes Patriot) and George Helmer who brought out the "Project Javelin" work in progress. Both of these cars have some great AMC racing History and I want to thank them both for bringing these cars out to share with us.
My wife and I are already looking forward to next years show!!
Thanks again to everyone for a great AMC filled weekend in So. California!!!!!!!!

Kudos to George and crew for putting on a great two day event.
Friday was the cruise-in...the street was blocked off and all cars were welcomed to the ADM (Automobile Driving Musesum) vicinity parking areas. AMC cars were allowed to park directly in front of the museum and about fourteen showed up (pictures to follow in a day or so). So many interesting cars, esp. AMC vehicles that don't show up to most car events. One culinary roach coach for dinner and lots of car conversations into the evening. Hot Rod magazine was there and took better pics than I could ever take, so here's a link to the Friday cruise-in: http://www.hotrod.com/hot_rod_cruise_night/hrdp_1207w_july_2012_hot_rod_car_craft_cruise_night/ The first car you'll see is Al's '68 AMX tribute car. And, here's my car (glad he shot it in the waning hours of sunsetting light): http://www.hotrod.com/hot_rod_cruise_night/hrdp_1207w_july_2012_hot_rod_car_craft_cruise_night/photo_52.html Saturday's show at was held at the ADM and about eighteen vehicles paid for admission (several were unwilling/unable to pay parked outside the gates). Lots of interest in the cars and three peeps showed up, all of whom were restoring Scramblers and needed some assistance. That was quite surprising (three in one day)! The museum bbq-ed burgers and brots for lunch and trophies were handed out later. All in all, it was pretty well organized and the ADM was a GREAT venue for a car show in Los Angeles. George--let's do it again next year!

I'm going to be out of town for the car show -- leaving for Wendover UT in the Rambler, in fact -- but turns out i will be able to make the Friday cruise. Do I need to sign up or anything? Or just show up?
Be warned, no one likes my car but me :-) It is anti-shiny. The muscle car people laugh cuz it's a 195.6 OHV (albeit hotrodded). I embarrass the resto people cuz it's all hacked up and modified. The import scene kids hate me cuz I use the wrong stuff from Japan. Flip it over though, and it's all go, and it's all AMC... lol. |
