Polo Grounds a good show? Not familiar with it Ray. I might recommend the upcoming Greenwich Concours Show on June 4th, usually a great venue! I had bought a ticket for the show a while ago before I found out about the surgery I'll be going through tomorrow, and, unfortunately, that will definitely keep me from going in early June. I hate missing that show!
Not a "good" show, Vinny...a "great" show. Bugatti's, Koenigsegg's, Pagani's, Hennesey's, Ferrari's galore and any others you can think of on 1/2 of a polo field and then on the other half they have domestic and foreign classics, hot rods and normal "car show" fair. Why don't you join me next year?! This initially was a "Ferrari" show held at the State Capital in Hartford. The Ferrari owners would drive in a caravan to the Children's Hospital in Hartford and pick up a child and drive them back to the capital building via Bushnell Park where they would do a couple of laps and then "goose" them a little to everyone's glee and then "parade style" drive past us spectators and they would wave to us and we them. I tear up a little just recalling the scene. Little kids with bandanas covering up their little pale, bald heads... All smiles as I ask them to pose for a picture. It's something you wouldn't forget. Letterman had a couple of his Ferrari's there. At any rate it just got too big and was moved to the Polo grounds in Farmington.I have a friend that showed his "328" last year and will be showing his XKE next month. I threw in this '51 Ford for good measure. it was an exceptionally nice modification. The builder placed this body on a late model Mustang that had been wrecked. the interior and drivetrain were all modern Mustang. Gorgeous!
