Headed out at dawn to most likely the last show of the year for me in Elburn, il. The Elburn Lions club's Fall show. They do a nice job and there was a strong turn out this late in the year with over 350 cars.

So I roll in, car running great, feeling good, looking sharp, BB King sing 'bout Caledonia, stereo cranked up to "11", all is beautiful in my world.

And they parked me next to:

BTW - The Black Ford Conv. on the other side of me. '55??? He won his class also. Poor guy ran out of gas on the way to the show just as he turned into the gas station and had to get pushed to the pump. Took him most of the morning to shake that outta his head.

I'm pretty sure the class win, made up for it. :D
 
That '39 Graham is outstanding! What a unique and beautiful car. :)

I'm told by the owner his is one of 20 known to still exist. The effort on the rest-o-mod is outstanding, sbc & trans, paint is 1st class, cadillac comfort level leather interior. The best of both the old & new.
