Motor City Region SAAC / Re: 1989 Detroit Autorama Car Show, Cobo Hall
« on: February 10, 2024, 11:30:22 AM »
The story of this video, I was researching '67 stuff and on a non-automotive Michigan history page, a man posted it.  He said he'd been going through some unknown and unnamed boxes of crap and when sorting, he found the VHS tape, which is in good shape, played it and transferred it into digital form for upload to YouTube.  He has no affiliation with the tape so no knowledge, other than he thought it looked cool, which was a correct assessment!

When passing Philadelphia, definitely worth crossing the Delaware into the city near Phila. Airport and visiting the Simeone Automobile Collection.  They have one of the original Daytona Coupes, plus a couple of GT40s along with other historic race cars.  A couple hours is sufficient to see it all.  While in Wilmington NC, visiting the Battleship USS North Carolina is well worth it.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Republic Ford Sales Inc., Houston TX

Thanks, I had actually found an old photo with a billboard and phone number on some obscure website that had nothing to do with cars!  I find information in the weirdest places.

From the Kansas City Times, 11/9/1976.  2011 registry has zero info on car #442, other than it was shipped to Dick Bohn Ford, Gretna LA in Feb '67..

For a research project, I'm trying to find the 1967 phone number for Republic, if anyone has a car from there with any dealership paperwork, I'd be grateful!

Had to rotate this one - such a great photo!!  (Hope that's OK)

I saw that too, I was just too tired to care!  My step tracker parking cars and taking care of everything for the show was nearly 17,000.

What a show!  Planned for about 30 cars, ended up with 60.  The Shelby name was well represented with some amazing cars including GT350/500s from 1965,66,67,69.  Many Cobra replicas, late model GT350/500s, Ford GT, Sunbeam Tiger, Boss/Machs, etc and so on.  For now, I'm placing photo galleries on the Hickory Aviation Museum Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/HickoryAviationMuseum until I get them all and I'll do a full gallery or slide show.  Thanks to all who came out on a perfect day for car show.

Update on Event:  Everything is going as planned, we just need a nice weather day.  I have a sandwich style food truck that will be on site.  There is a conference going on inside the terminal building, so the small cafe will be over-run, and I encourage everyone to patronize Bam's Sandwich Bistro, or bring your own lunch.  I have a conference room reserved for owners for our use all day, tables, chairs and air conditioning if it's across the parking lot from the main terminal.  We have a swap meet area TBD, either in that conference room or near our newly restored picnic area by the aircraft.  I have about the same amount of space this year but would like to get an idea of how many cars to expect, and if anyone would like to send me photos of the car they're bringing, please email me at info@hickoryaviationmuseum.com so I can use as I advertise our event.  The Carolina Cobra Club will be bringing some cars, and I still have to invite Carolina Mustang Club for 1964.5-1973 Mustangs.  There is plenty of parking in the outer parking lot when entering the airport property on the left for trailers. I will be there early, and would like to have everyone parked by 10am, and ask that due to foot traffic, that people try and stay until 1:30-2pm, but I understand folks have other commitments and may have to leave early.  I will be controlling the parking lot in my neon vest and white floppy hat, and please, only myself and museum volunteers are to direct cars.  Volunteers will have name tags/museum shirts.  The Museum looks forward to seeing everyone again.  We've added one aircraft since last year, and during the day, we'll have the F/A-18 cockpit open for people to sit in a real fighter jet cockpit, take photos, etc.
