    I spent the last 10 days in the Kissimmee/Orlando Florida area with the family on vacation. One thing I scheduled for myself was to be sure I made it to the Saturday Night Cruise at Old Town in Kissimmee. What a great time I had. Lots of cars to eyeball.

    There was one small bumper Comet there. The driver was an older gentleman and I was wondering if any of you Floridians might recognize this Kissimmee Comet (I like the sound of that)? Maybe someone from the forum?

    It had a Florida license plate on the rear but a Virginia plate on the front. :huh:

    I didn't get to see it in the daylight as he arrived late. The color didn't stand out well at night. The owner never stayed with the car so I didn't get my chance to meet up with him.

    Did you go to the Fantasy of Flight museum while you was there? Great place.

    Didn't know about that at the time. Not to far away from Kissimmee either. I'll have to put it on the list for a future trip. :tiphat:

    In mid April of each year, they have a huge Mustang and Ford show at Fantasy of Flight. Last year, I believe there were between 4-500 cars there. Great event.
