MiniDave mentioned this in another post, thought I'd put details here in case any of y'all are interested in getting together or meeting up at the show:

2008 Art of the Car Concours

dimini and I are planning to go for sure, haven't firmed up the time yet tho......if Rose is going with it will be in the afternoon. If she's not, then I would prefer to go first thing as it opens and avoid some of the heat.

How did I miss this?! A 904 and a 300SL Gullwing - NICE!!!

Is this an annual event?

This was the second annual, I hope it continues. I believe it's an invitation only event for the cars, and they try to represent all eras, up to the 70's or so - I doubt there's much that you would want in the show from the 80's and 90's!

Since they're looking for style and design, it favors cars from the late 30's to the 60's.......

Should I go back thru and caption the pics so people know what the cars are, or are they pretty easy to figure out as is?

Two of my all-time favorites - the 904 Porsche and 300SL Gullwing Mercedes - very rare birds - sorry to have missed it this time around. Thanks for sharing, Dave!
