OK, here we go. Day 2.
It began with me and my bud Steve heading to the track to grab our SAAC 43 shirts and spending 30-40 minutes on a quick tour.
:P
These are some of the cars getting judged tomorrow. They were nuts!!!
Anyone like race cars? Maybe you wanna buy one?
So after a 45 minute stop at the track we took off to Sacramento to get some parts for Steve's 65 fastback and then we headed to The Cobra Experience.
That museum did not suck at all. It was filled with a whole lot of AWESOME!!!!
Yep, this museum was definitely somewhat filled with a tone of "cool".
A bunch of other cool stuff there too.
And more cool stuff.
So much cool stuff.
All right. Night ya all. I'm off to drink some rum and get ready for an epic day tomorrow.
Should be a good one.
QSS

Thank You Quick Silver!

Stever
Thank you so very much QuickSilverShelby - appreciate you sharing the experience!
One more thanks. Great pics!
great shots, can't wait to see more
I saw a lot of cars with one or two Go-Pro cameras on the track the last two days. I hope the videos will be posted.
OK, it's really late and I've gotta catch a flight home tomorrow but here we go.
EPIC DAY!!!!! It was an epic day. So many amazing cars, such a great convention, please don't make me home to work :'(
;D
And now for something completely different......
Looks awesome mate, definitely catch up next year for a 🍻
Thanks for sharing pics
Hertz heaven part II
Cool convertibles :D
Some really cool rides....
Heading for the track.....
Now for some parade laps. I only had a rental car at this convention which was a Chrysler 300 and I really wanted to go out on the parade laps but I didn't sign up. As all the cars lined up to head out onto the track I spied an 07 Shelby GT with an empty passenger seat so I ran over and asked the driver if I could jump in and join him for a ride along.
A huge shout out to Dan for letting me join him in a bunch of spirited laps in his 07 super charged Shelby GT.
Dan's car was a riot to ride in and a very cool car to boot.
Thanks for the ride bud :D
A bunch of parade laps and a ton of sweet cars.
And just when the day was nearing an end we headed home to our hotel and the craziness of the day kept coming. When I pulled into the parking lot I saw cobra and I figured I would wandered over and have a look.
Got a little closer to take a look. Looks pretty nice. Gotta be a replica, right?
Hey look, it's for sale......... guess someone is selling their replica. I hope the guy in the black minivan is careful opening his door,..... don't wanna ding that sweet replica.
Damn...... it's real and it's spectacular!
Anyone wanna buy an original cobra???? It's right over there,..... you know, sitting there between the mini van and the Chevy.
:o
OK, I'm heading for bed. A day with so much excellence has made me very tired :)
More pics tomorrow. Night all.

It was a very busy convention but it's only my 3rd convention in a row so l only have limited reference. Lots of amazing cars, great people and wayyyyyyyyy too much fun.
I'm sitting at SFO airport right now crying into my bear about the fact that l have to go home now.

Thanks Quick Silver for the pics. First SAAC I've missed in over a decade. Also been to Norcal Mini-Nats a couple times over the last few years but couldn't make this one. Must've been a blast having both Mini-Nats and SAAC national there.
Safe travels. I'm going to cry in my beer now too.

Anyone notice that Candy Purple '68 fastback? That's a bright one! It was at SAAC 35 too.
I've counted eight ( 8 ) '67s so far with possible ID's on three of them.
Can't wait to see more photos!
:P

I am not sure how to take that ? Ether ,sorry the art work doesn't measure up or your lucky that you get to see it so much. It is always fun to see them for me.The burgers are heaven. I only get them about once a year because I am from the Midwest. It used to be you could buy a poster of the different scenes at the merchandise stores or online. Not so anymore it seems. The pictures I posted look fine in the file prior to posting as I already said. They automatically get flipped when they download. The files are on a HP PC .

LOL, no slight intended. Just a statement that the artwork is common to IN-N-OUT locations.
The image rotation seems to happen more often with Apple products on the forum that other platforms.
I'm exclusively Apple and have never had a problem orienting my photos.
And that artwork is really neat! I've never seen it before (no IN-N-OUT burgers in Richmond Va.).
Anyone know why so much Shelby-centric art in those establishments?

I think the rotation happens with an iPhone. iPad and Mac seems to format the images vertically.
I just read the gal who inherited the Chain has no plans to take it out of it's current territory, which I believe is only California.

Don't know, but recently opened in Grants Pass, OR. and a year or two ago in Medford, OR. Seem to be slowly working north on I-5.
Thank you to all who posted pics and comments.
Truly appreciated!! God Bless You!
There are In-N-Out's in Arizona as well.

Knew you couldn't resist. Newer stores are much different than the originals as you've seen.
How many did you smuggle onto the plane in your carry on?
My wife has an elderly aunt in Stockton CA who I fly out to check up on every once-in-awhile. I've been to the IN-N-OUT burger there several times and if that artwork is hanging in that location then I somehow missed it.
I would think it is no coincidence that Shelby autos are featured - makes me think the owner or interior designer had a thing for the mark or maybe just the artist who's work they chose to feature?

Locally the stores are pretty new so they will typically not have the older artwork but the newer stuff.
Lots of them added in the last ten years or so. Think there is only one in town (Stockton) out on March Lane. One in the town to the north (Lodi) and one to the south (Manteca)

These were some of the cars that frequently visited drive-in's during the 1960's and 1970's. On any given Friday or Saturday night in So. Cal., whether it be Bob's Big Boy in Glendale or Whittier, In-N-Out in the San Gabriel Valley, or Tommy's in Los Angeles, the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, you would see these cars. They are just part of the So. Cal culture. Here is a picture of my Tommy's 65th Anniversary Tee Shirt(sorry for the wrinkles).

Guy Snyder son of the In-N-out founder was a car nut. His brother Rich to a lesser extent. Guy was a die hard drag racer and the power behind getting the 1960s Irwindale dragstrip promoted and the In-N-Out sponsored cars. They even had an In-N-Out at the starting line. Guy had a red Cobra kit car and many/most of the cars on their shirts are in the collection. The brothers have both died and Lindsey Guys only daughter (Rich had no kids) inherited In-N-Out when she turned 35 this year. She is also a drag racer and I'm sure the corporate insurance types have a heart attack when the sole owner of a billion dollar empire gets behind the wheel.

The family was into SHELBYS COBRAS. They had a family arrangement they were never to travel all together in the family jet where ever they were going. Well many years ago they were all in the plane together and the plane went down killing all the men of the family, that's how the sister came to be in charge. Back then there were posters shirts giveaways you name it.When that tragedy struck many things changed except the great quality of the food. Ran IN AND OUT URGE stickers on my cars for decades- Best burgers ever.
Guy Snyder had a 289 Cobra. Used to keep it at Earl Wade's corner of Darryl Buehl's shop in Monrovia.
Poor Guy got too close to a UAL B757 at SNA. Family was plagued with tragedy.
I found news story that said Guy died from a hydrocodone overdose.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out_Burger
My bad. It was Rick Snyder, Guys older brother, who had the Cobra and was president of In-and-Out when he was killed at SNA.
http://articles.latimes.com/1993-12-17/news/mn-2639_1_top-executives
Guy followed Rick in company succession and early, untimely death.
Like I said, family plagued w trajedy.
Cobra was marroon (?) as I recall, could be slightly off there too, it's been 25 years.
Is that Howards "R" model in the background of the black GT40 in reply #21? (Any other "R" models show up?)
Anyone have photos (and ID's) of the 2 Cobras that were in Concours?
I can't wait to see more pictures!!!

Guy had all the neat cars - Rich had a lot of big American convertibles - usually white with red interior he loaned to schools for homecoming parades and prom nights. WRONG on the family history - Harry the father died of natural causes at a ripe old age. In the trust Estell his wife got 51% Rich the good son that worked hard at In-N-Out got 25% and Guy who had a drug problem and didn't work real hard at the family business got 24% (on Estell's death Rich was to have 51% and Guy 49%). The plane crash killed some managers and Rich. They had stopped at Bracket (next to LA Fairgrounds) and let Estell off to go home in Glendora. Estell went back to work full time and Guy came back to work but after a couple years he passed away. Lindsey worked side by side with her grandmother learning the office and management skills. When Estell passed away the trust had a group of managers run the place and continue Lindseys training. At 35 she assumed full control. Guy had lived in Northern CA for a long time and that is where Lindsey grew up. Rich had a very nice house in Covina Hills - all brick like the new stores. When he got married new wife insisted on not living in bachelor pad so they moved to Newport and Huntington Beach (He kept the old house and had Monday Night Football there). Lindsey has several houses in Glendora and a 6 million dollar one she bought in Bradbury a couple years ago. She has 3 exes and 4 kids.
Go their In & Out web site for the t-shirts and posters. I have the GT350 shirts.

I couldn't find posters there any more. I looked again on the off chance I missed them after seeing your post and no luck. Ebay is the best place for their posters now except that they are a lot more expensive.
The In & Out in Minden Nv (near Carson City) has both the Shelby posters. About 3 years ago I asked the manager if I could buy them. He laughed and said to check e Bay!
I had never had In & Out until my second year attending Barrett Jackson. A friend I made the first year told me I had to try it! He said get your burger any way you want, but you gotta get your fries "animal style". AWESOME!! Always stop on the way from the airport to the condo now.
I have never gone inside to see the artwork. I'll have to make it a point to do so.
Yea, the In-N-Out Shelby artwork is common to many locations so definitely cruise inside to see it. I didn't find posters on their website but they do offer a canvas painted version of the '66 GT350 artwork (.... for $220 :o):

For the pictures being rotated with an iPhone, that's usually caused when you Lock your screen's rotation to vertical but then rotate the phone horizontal when taking photos.
Thanks for sharing the SAAC43 photos!
