Car Show a Success

My weekend was consumed with the 3rd Annual Classy Chassis as my better half is heavily involved year round in organizing it. This is the first year that I think it really took off and was wildly successful. Lots of money raised for United Cerebral Palsy. Yay!

I had no idea that Joe had taken my photos from last year's show (2005) and turned them over to UCP for use on their web site. I'd have cleaned them up had I known they were doing that. The quality varies and the thumbnails link to randomly-sized originals...but oh well.


1941 Packard Darrin Super 8:


Hopefully my pics this year will be better since I standardized my settings and used a tripod.

If you want to see some gorgeous, artsy pics from this year's show, a professional photographer was one of the attendees and he sent us a link to some astounding pics that he took. I know next to nothing about cars but I appreciate them as sculptural forms, as exemplified in my favorite from this year's show, a Delahaye from the 1930s.

No surprise that my two favorites are both convertibles.

I'm so excited about tonight. I hope the rain won't keep folks away, but if it does, who can blame them? If you're albe to brave the weather and bad streets, will you be bringing Chris and/or Joe? :)

What timing! I just got off the phone with Chris, who wanted to know if he could invite some friends. He doesn't know if anyone additional will be coming but he's planning to come. Joe's a "probably" coming. There's a slim chance a friend of ours may need help but otherwise I expect Joe will be there as well.

How did the rest of the hanging go? Did you go back and hang some additional pieces? What time did you get done? Sorry that I couldn't stay the entire time because hanging art was even more fun than I expected.

Just to be sure, the show is from 6-8 p.m., yes?

Tell Chris he can bring any friends he wants :)

The rest went very well. The walls weren't totally covered, but they looked good, anyway, in a sort of clean-line Zen way ;) Lisa seemed pleased. We were so happy to get home and collapse though hehe.

Yes, 6-8 pm... thanks for all you've done, you've been amazing!! *HUG*

Yay! So y'all stopped with just the 20. I bet you were very glad to get back home.

We won't be there at the stroke of 6 -- probably more like between 6:45 and 7 -- but we'll be there! I'm looking forward to discovering if I can recognize the pieces in the dark. :)
