    Here are a few pics of the show I attended in Fayetteville, GA yesterday. No trophies or prizes were given, so it was just a show and shine event. Enjoy....:)
    The Maverick is owned by Mike, a new owner. Says he has only had the car for a few months. Gave him the address for the site, and I hope he will join up. Real nice guy.

    Dan; the Chevelle is an SS427, and it is mint. Sounded really good.

    Thanks for the pics.

    That small bumpered Maverick has chrome trim around the wheel wells.

    Did they offer that in 70-72's?? :confused: Nice looking Maverick either way.

    It must be a conversion because the Maverick script was put on the sail panel in 73. The back bumper is not 73 so I'd say it was a converted big bumper car.

    Thanks, guys. My favorite was the '41 Packard. The owners and their kids showed up in period formal wear. The guy in a period correct tux and top hat and his wife in a period correct formal with a fox stole. The kids the same. Funny, when the pic session was over, the costumes came off with one or two buttons and they had shorts and T-shirts on underneath. Great effect. I just got there too late to get pics of the people. Great show, looking forward to it next month.
