Anyone headed to it this year August 22nd. I try to go every year and look at all the vehicles. I am in no way a buyer... There are a couple of vehicles of FTE interest. A 37 Ford 1.5 ton rack body truck, a 55 F100and a 71 F100. I look at the Triumphs and Porsches and cry when I see them go for less than what I would think they would go for. It's a good time!

 

Hey Dave, is there a web link?

How about a nice new hat?

A new hat and the random people on the street always coming up to you asking "Hey, arent you the maine chapter leader on FTE?! OMG!!"

But I'm not gonna make it...We gotta take the little one down to Saco sometime soon, and that's enough of dealing with the tourists for me

 

Yeah, I cant make it either. I will be in a tux for my sons wedding on the 22nd.

 

Looks like a great time...one of the guys I work with has flown up there a few times.

I believe that the museum owns a prototype Mustang...truly one of a kind...that Ford has been trying to buy back for years. I don't know if it;s on display or not.

I've thought of heading up there...but...it's about a 260 mile drive!!!

 

oh PUSHAW Ken, 260 miles to see a prototype Mustang? Geezums! oh and they have a cool display of horse carriages, to include an original Gypsy Vardo. Pretty awesome. There is a picture of it on the web site but they don't do it justice. The Mustang is on display but what I think is equally impressive is the 1885 Benz. that is just cool. But my favorite piece is the 1958 BMW Isetta, nicknamed Das Rollende Ei — the rolling egg. That's Wicked cool!

 

but you gotta admit, the Lotus is all right too!
