    Held in Gettysburg, PA at the beginning of August. I was not there for the entire week, and I had to leave before all the wagons that were going to attend showed up, but I caught a few.

    For this one, he had the wheelcovers in the car and hadn't installed them yet for the show. Not sure why he felt the need to keep them off the car. Possibility of theft? There were lots of other cars around with wheelcovers at least as good as his that were on the car.

    Yes, it was a rainy week.

    I agree completely, and I think the same is true of the '73 Custom Cruiser done up to look like a Ghostbustersmobile. Waste of a nice, rare station wagon. Fortunately, it looks like that '73 could be returned to stock condition without too much difficulty.

    What's worse is that the owner of that Custom Cruiser also has a PA system on it. At shows like the GM Nationals at Carlisle he cranks up the Ghostbusters theme song on a loop then walks away. Being parked across the aisle from him, it got old REALLY quickly. :meh:

    I'd go over to his car with pair of wire cutters and take care of the problem. :cool:

    Love the '57. I just sold my 57 four door Holiday sedan about three months ago.
