    Today, I brought my 84 Eldorado to the Cars'R'Stars show at the Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby, Michigan. I put the Eldo into the Car Corral and went to look at the show field.

    You're gonna love these cars!

    I've got pix loaded on flickr:

    Use the "Prev" and "Next" buttons to view the photos; there are about 20 pictures total.

    If I did this correctly, here are a couple of my favorites:
    1952 Chev surfer custom:

    And this beautiful '46 Ford:

    The 46 Ford was on the Hot Rod Power Tour. The woodwork was first rate.

    -You can't have it. Me and Silverfox are already fighting over it! Take the 52 Chevy or the customized 46 Ford.------------ By the way, did you find another wagon like the one you dented slightly?:rofl2:
